Shouldn't we get rid of this at all, not just Knoppix version? I never found
it much useful, better to set up some default values.

One last thing (for today): on second thought, it may _not_ be such a
great idea to put all those jingles in the scratchpad initially. This
makes the login very slow, about 15 - 20 seconds. Maybe we could put a
few jingles in, but not all?

how would you expect to run a database server on a read-only filesystem?

strange enough...

dmix?

you mean Firefox warning?

but, they are not set up properly

hm, I didn't see this feature...

see http://code.campware.org/projects/livesupport/ticket/1516
(as the user preferences formats are not documented, usage has drifted
apart in the GUI and the HTML UI...)

how about filing a bug?

hm, it doesn't have /dev/dsp0 (as a symlink to /dev/dsp?)

but that's bad, that it doesn't actually change these values - this
means Michael Aschauer didn't make it work properly

I didn't see any such help..

then I'm waiting for the first such bug report:

I booted the live CD, uploaded a 200MB mp3 file, but the whole thing
crashed!
I'm running a system with 128MB of RAM...

the point is: there's totally no usable scenario for running the storage
system in what is basically a RAM disk...

After struggling with Doug, Sebastian and Ferenc one issue after another
got to be resolved with installation of Debian packages but now I think
things are fine but only the Authentication issue. When I run
livesupport studio I get a message that says authentication server not
available. Any ideas?

Have to get this right before going to test with Community Stations in
Mpumalanga Province, South Africa.

looks like some issue with PHP XML-RPC support... maybe mismatching
libraries? Tomas?
