U remember loading programs from a tape?  Trying to get the volume EXACTLY right?

Hi

Can't go wrong with an HP.

I'm only recently getting in2 whiskies.  Glenmorangie 'Lasanta' is nice, Jamesons Special Reserve is divine. JD is ok, Jeam Beam is ok - wanna try Wild Turkey. Bowmore pretty peaty & not bad either (4 a weird peaty drink!)

Directx is only for windows-based PCs.

Check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX

@machinebacon

Thanks for that.

I usually use XBMC for viewing vids (from a flash drive (no HD yet)), but sometimes, while I'm working on PC I want to watch summat via VLC. However, the screen goes blank after a short while (obviously the power management is a bit unreliable - I don't use a screensaver). I even told VLC (i think in vlc.conf) not to blank - to no avail.

I added your 3 lines to autostart.sh & it worked a treat.

Again, thank you very much

I like Ubuntu-base AND Debian-base.  They both 'work' for me. However, I like the idea that there are less 'layers' for potential errors with a Debian-base and we can only 'blame' two parties instead of three
A big however comes when I must say I love Openbox & hate Xfce - don't you dare start flaming me, hehe

Anyhoo, this is Corenominal's baby and I hope in some recognisable format #! is here to stay (ie, not straying too far from the original...)

@Corenominal

Congrats - you've done it again.

Statler is awesome!

Well, I installed wicd (i normally do - I just thought I'd tinker for a bit) & it work fine (well, slightly flaky connection - but at least it is a connection!)

Thanks for your help slapfish

Yep, you're right, running as superuser worked. Eth0 is up and running under ifconfig.  Thanks for that.  I still don't know how network manager can get that info.

@slapfish. How did you do that? ifconfig isn't installed, as such. What commands did you use?

I've set everything up in network manager, even to telling it the mac address of the router!

Managed to install too & failed @ grub creation.  Have tried super grub disk, cli instructions & live cds to get a working grub, all to no avail.  This is my 2nd day - wot am I missing?

Downloaded crunchbang-10-alpha-01-openbox-i686.iso, burnt to disk, booted up, but only get 1st screen (am using Eeebox, by the way),asking what I wanna do next. Drive light flashes then system reboots!
Mebbe crap cd-r, gonna check md5 & try thumbdrive with unetbootin next.
