SimplyMepis 2004 4 + Klik + Firefox

As a very quick fix, you could try Kanotix which has FF included.

Thanks, probono...Already have Kanotix...And am anxious to try out SimplyMepis Live CD with persistent home and Firefox (but NOT ready for SimplyMepis 3.3 as yet, since it seems to be still quite buggy).

Will keep in touch for Klik's updates also...

Thanks and regards...

Well, Probono...I now have:

Kanotix 2005-01 liveCD

SimplyMepis 3.3 Live CD

On the way..

Hope they both live up to expectations (or is that a contradiction-in-terms when referring to Linux distributions ? ).

Regards...

Did it work now? If not, please try klik://nvu and report whether that works for you.

Hello, again, probono...

Had some trouble with Kanotix BH 2005.01 LiveCD...Persistent Home + configs.tbz are NOT saving all the KPPP settings (no ID or PW), nor panel configs, icons deleted & saved, etc. It DOES save wallpaper

So I have not tried Klik with it yet ;-(

I'm now running (from LIVE CD) SimplyMepis 3.3 with a persistent home (" /home/demo ") using AdrianTM's scripts ('saveset' and 'loadset')...but I see that it's NOT among the distributions supported by Klik

What's the _size-MB_ of nvu ? I might try it on Kanotix BH 2005.01 when/IF I get it running better.

Thanks...

I've pretty much dropped Mepis from my focus because at the moment more than 90 percent of klik users come from Kanotix. But anyway you could try on newer Mepis versions, too. I just didn't test it there.

Tried to install Klik to SimplyMepis 3.3 (kernel 2.6.10) LiveCD...

got error:

"KDE Man Viewer Error

No man page matching to found. You can extend the search path by setting the environment variable MANPATH before starting KDE."

If this makes any sense to you...AND

If there's a potentially easy work-around...THEN

Please advise.

Thanks...

EDIT...BTW The location showing in that Error message is:

"man:/%0A# wget klik.atekon.de/client/install -O -|sh"

Please copy the following line:
wget klik.atekon.de/client/install -O -|sh

Then, press Alt-F2 and paste there what you have copied.

Press Enter.

Does it work now?

Please copy the following line:
wget klik.atekon.de/client/install -O -|sh

Then, press Alt-F2 and paste there what you have copied.

Press Enter.

Did so...With following result:

"Your /etc/fstab is not setup to use cmg files. Please run /home/demo/klik-cmg-install-root as root."

Did that:

demo@ttyp1[demo]$ su

Sorry.

Tried to install 'kpat' from Klik...
klik://kpat

But when I click on that I continually get "ALERT: klik is not a registered protocol"
...And I'm afraid that I don't know to get past that...

That simply means your browser doesn't understand what it is meant to do with klik:// links. It should work though with firefox (and mozilla-browser), konqueror and elinks. What browser are you trying, can you try one of the others?
