[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: SlimCD updated
It seems my Win98 box can't run AlienBBC due to lack of named pipe support on that OS so I've started looking at a slimcd install. Looks very cool - thanks! One question - do you know of any minimum hardware requirements for successfully running AlienBBC with SlimServer from a slimcd install? I'm looking at trying to use a Celeron 266MHz processor with 96MB RAM - I'm guessing this might be underpowered? Thanks again... -- acacia ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

One question - do you know of any minimum hardware requirements for successfully running AlienBBC with SlimServer from a slimcd install? I can't give any serious indication. I once run it on a P/200 with 64MB RAM. It would start, would even play (at 100% cpu load), but a.) very flaky and b.) memory would soon fill up. Remember that logs, database and everything is held in a ramdisk, using precious memory. Best you can do is run it in non-graphical mode. From the lilo prompt (boot screen) type dsl 2 to boot into text mode. This saves a little memory. I'm looking at trying to use a Celeron 266MHz processor with 96MB RAM - I'm guessing this might be underpowered? Good guess :-). But just run it and do the test! It won't touch your existing system, it doesn't cost anything. And you'll soon see whether it's usable or not. -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the StringEditor Plugin (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

I am sorry to ruin your weekend. I appreciate all your efforts. Don't worry about my weekend! I gave up friday night. And then I spent an extraordinarily beautiful late autumn day in the alps. Not ruined at all! -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the SlimString Translation Helper (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

I copied over Cyberbit.ttf to the Graphics folder. It does not work. Debug message is the following: Trying to load GD Library for TTF support: not ok! Error while trying to load GD Library: Can't locate loadable object for module GD in @INC Yep. That's exactly the point where I'm stuck. I tried to find a suitable module and even compile it myself. But I failed even the latter :-(. I spent a few hours - and gave up for the moment, I'm sorry. BTW CyberBit fonts are free for non-commercial use. It should be okay to add them to SlimCD. There were too many (R)s and (TM)s on that page to make me believe this :-). But it would have been easy enough to write a script which downloads the trial version of code2000 on demand. But the GD problem... -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the StringEditor Plugin (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Hmm... The main problem are licensing issues. The fonts aren't available for free distribution. You probably have one of those fonts (very likely Arial). It then should be easy enough to copy it to the slimserver's Graphics folder. I copied over Cyberbit.ttf to the Graphics folder. It does not work.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: SlimCD updated
BTW Does SimCD support Unicode and Wake On Lan? If you mean Unicode on the display - I don't think so as (lack of need for this) I've never installed any fonts. I'll have a look at it. Might be interesting. As for WOL - I don't know! I'm not sure whether the underlying linux base does support it. But as it is held really lean, I doubt it. And I didn't find any information about it on the damnsmalllinux.org forums, neither. -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the SlimString Translation Helper (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
