Hello, all, When I sent the first message, I did the address wrong, so it probably didn't go through. Anyway, I have 3 questions. Does anyone know of a client for Yahoo Messenger that works with Oralux? Is it possible to work with PDF files? And, what do I need to

I know for a fact that my hard drives are IDE, not SCSI. So as a result, SCSI detection might be the problem. But I don't know where to start with turning off the no options. - Original Message - From: "Gilles Casse" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Oralux mailing list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Se

Hi Teresa, Gnoppix is under the GPL: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/gnoppix/ As I understand it, there might be a mutual agreement from the FSF and the Gnoppix team so that it includes the GNU project. Gilles -- Oralux http://oralux.org ___

This is a great idea. I have one question. Is there any particular reason the URL has the words nongnu in it? Is this philosophically different from the gnu project? Teresa - Original Message - From: "Gilles Casse" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ML oralux" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday

You may want to experiment to disable the self-detection of some devices, if they are not required. The "no" something cheatcodes can skip parts of the auto detection. So for example: knoppix alsa noapic noagp noapm noscsi The current list of the "no" cheatcodes is: no{apic,agp,apm,audio,ddc,fi

As best I can determine, my sound card is a YAMAHA AC-XG Audio Device. This is what Windows refers to it as. I don't know what is in the laptop, but since it is a closed case, without any real way to open it I am pretty sure this is the audio hardware I have. The other devices listed unter devi

Thanks Doug. But you didn't understand what I want. The first of all. It's true, when Oralux finishes loading, I can see three directories: /mnt/hda1 /mnt/hda5 /mnt/hda6 But they are empty. The second of all. I know how to become root in shell buffer. But I don't know how to continue being root

Hi, I have found something rather odd.  I have gotten the audio menu to speak correctly, all be it with choppy speech.  The menu will speak, up until the program says "Welcome to Oralux 0.6 Alpha!" or something similar. Then it freezes, after beeping at me.  Well, not freezes, but does not s
