Re: Zoneminder on F96-CE_4 with Hiawatha Web Server

I love the idea of Zoneminder, but have never had any luck getting cameras that work properly with it. Recently ended up buying an expensive proprietary camera system instead.

Is there a trick to getting webcams to work with it?

seems that this might be a chrome only issue, but with wobbly windows turned on and then trying to move the window by grabbing the title bar is horrendous. All other windows don't seem to have an issue.

Mount a disk and save the torrent to there.

Re: How to transfer music file to email attachment?

Hey Sky

To copy a track, you'd need to rip it from the CD. You can't just copy the files from the CD and expect it to work.

What puppy are you using? Most come with a ripper or some kind. If you rip the track, it'll create a shareable file, like an mp3 which you'd be able to send to your pals.

Re: CUPS upgrade question

I'm not an expert on printers, but that sounds a whole lot more like a driver or more likely a settings issue for your printer, rather than a CUPS issues.

What driver are you using?
