Hi Linux! how are you going?
thanks for the link. Lot of color choices. very nice findings you got
I was wonder whether on could find themes with pixmaps instead of the buttons.

Have you managed to get the round corners working? I actually looked on the net for a .jwmrc with a corner rounded, but hopeless.

Greetings Linus

btw would you know if we can use the bindings:

ALT + wheel mouse up/down ?

frenchnoob
go get tinycore and check them out as thats where I got all my themes,etc for jwm

another good place is I heard some of the latest puppy versions have jwm with rounded corners
check the puplets out

and check the jwm site too

Hi Linus,

thanks. I am wondering why to use low level eg tinycore distro since backport debian has low level kernels: 2.4.31

Debian testing + low ressource kernel : and one has a fast old computer working under linux, no ? I may be wrong

I've already answered that (when you asked for a 2.4 kernel in backports.org):

Backports are for newer software, NOT older.
There is NO such thing as a 2.4.31 kernel for Lenny in backports.org and there never will be!

You can't just use a 2.4 kernel with modern 2.6 distributions without breaking things.
Linux 2.4 does not support the epoll() call and will break every app using it

Build your own 2.4 kernel (it's easy) and deal with all breakages yourself (unless you need server apps, that shouldn't be very difficult either).

Yes,
you're still wrong and asking this a third time will not change that.

Strip a 2.6 kernel if size matters that much for you (and only select small/fast apps) or use an "all in one" image as "linus72" suggested.

but in terms of security holes, isnt it that risky to use distro with lower version of softwares? Like damn small linux, it is with a lower kernel, so more security holes... no? certainly that I will be wrong again ...

(Sorry that I do get to understand slowly those linux distros things... )

Sadly, I do agree with that
Small distributions with Linux 2.4 are not that actively maintained and do have more security issues.

Since my English is very bad as well (dutch + french speaking), I would never blame anyone for not understanding it.

I would personally just install the absolute minimum (no X and no base system).
Next just aptitude (or apt-get) a minimal X with only basic fonts and the video driver you need.

You could also learn how to use most things without X:
Mail: mutt[0]
Web: Links2, Lynx, w3c
Text: Screen, VIM, Emacs, (LA)TEX, nano ... (GNU Screen[1] is a wonderful thing for those with low resources).

Hello Linus72,

I have a question for you. Would you know if it could be possible to make an usb pendrive bootable with DSL (live embedded) + Debian Installer ?
At boot the pendrive could ask what to choose, such as plp boot.

Here are the how to, in short:

DSL Bootable pendrive howto:
- Format the pendrive with gparted as fat16 or 32
- download :
51M dsl-4.4-embedded.zip
- mount pendrive
- unpack zip to pendrive
- unmount pendrive
- syslinux -s /dev/sdX1



DEBIAN Bootable pendrive howto:

then
mount and copy the iso file to the pendrive (simply )


Greetings to you Linus. Which distro are you running now? Puppy and JWM? xdotool is quite convenient for jwm.
