When you post with GG, you have to do things like sig trimming manually.
That is, while you are trimming, which you should do instead of bottom
posting untrimmed, you should also trim the sig.
Mike: for now I'm sticking with DSL...but I'll keep you posted if it
doesn't work. Tx for your help so far.
DSL is fine. IMO it is a very different distro from Puppy. The two are
only similar in that they are light distros. Puppy's developer has a
different idea of where he is going than DSL's does.
Just an update: I don't badmouth things unless they are usually
really bad, unless I'm just trolling, in which case anybody with half
a brain can figure out when that is. Obviously this is not one of
those times.
However; you are very prone to be using old and b0rken/erratic hardware
which doesn't run anything worth a sh*t *INCLUDING* any kind of windows.
Then, when you are struggling with the hardware, you tend to blame -
badmouth - whichever linux you are messing with and linux in general.
I have old/bad hardware like that, so I know. Typically I run linux and
win 98 on ancient hardware; linux and WinXP on less ancient.
If you are genuinely interested in using linux, you should rig up some
dual boots where you are using linux and windows on similar hardware, as
I described above, not just old b0rken stuff. New hardware with
Vista/Win7 and a linux or two. Older/ Less new/ hardware with XP and a
linux or two. Really old hardware with W98 and a linux like DSL or
Puppy or Vector or other light distros.
You are creating ugly adverse hardware situations and then badmouthing
linux when/because you don't have any linux skills like how to get out
of situations with the commandline. That creates a very
adverse/difficult environment and it is going to get in the way of your
learning some linux things which would be valuable.
There are a lot of linux helpers who are maestros with the commandline
for fixing things. There are other helpers who are less skilled with
commandline solutions but are linux-skilled with graphical solutions.
It is especially nice when someone is helping you who is familiar with
both and can give you a quick answer in the form of a commandline or an
awkward long answer in the form of a graphical tool solution.
However, your approach to this linux issue alienates a lot of linux
helpers who surely consider you to be a total troll which is what a
great deal of your posting history consists of.
you have to tab and use the space key to switch between options shown
in the window,
You act like that tabbing requirement is important - a handicap - or
something.
but I can live with that if it works. I'm not
optimistic I can surf the net through DSL, but we'll see.
It sounds like you are confusing/saying DSL broadband with/ instead of/
dialup not broadband.
when it is booted again.
