    Instead of Part1, part2 etc, could you give names like :

    Part 1 : General trouble shooting
    ........................
    Part 3 : Tweaks

    etc, etc

    I did think about doing that and it's a good idea. It's just im not sure i can have or keep each part containing only one subject, so im a bit in doubt. But i guess i can give a part a name that has all the subjects in it.

    Like this "Part 3: Virus and Spyware Help, Programs, Miscellaneous stuff".

    What do you think ?.

    I went through that browser security check, Firefox found 1 medium vulnerability, where as there was 0 in IE 7 ......... however IE7 acted up strangely, automatically opened many tabs, could'nt close some of them, Automatically opened WMP, and generated an error "cannot play file" ............ :D

    btw ... i noticed in IE7, you cannot close all tabs in IE7. Minimum 1 must be opened. Whereas in Firefox, if you close the last tab opened, it automatically opens a new blank tab

    Mmm that's funny i passed with a Trunk build yesterday. Which one failed exactly ?.


    The tab behavior can be changed on FF either a tab is always visible or not. Using Hide the tab bar when only one web site is open

    In any case IE and FF tab code is not the same at all (or any other tab browser).

    All tests are OK in the branch : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060202 Firefox/1.5.0.1

    But I still get that in the trunk(even with a new profile), and running only that test : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060208 Firefox/1.6a1

    Now that's really strange, as you say your trunk passed all those tests
    and securityfocus doesn't like to open in my computer I think. It is taking a lot of time .......... :( :p

    Edit : Ok at last it opened. But I don't see it much helpful. And it looks like a very OLD bug. I don't see how I am getting velnerable to it

    Nop it checks out fine.

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060208 Firefox/1.6a1

    I don't get it bak you should not be vulnerable, i'll have a look on this matter and see what i can find.

    That's a problem, since I cannot persuade them any of my friends to download 6MB (and that too trunk ... unofficial) in a 56K line (almost all connections here are) just for that single test.

    Sure no problem darknight909, if you have other good 64-bit resources/links you would like to see linked just let me know and i'll add them.


    On another note i fix the quick links to each part they were messed up (apparently no one uses them :D). In any case if anyone finds any dead, missing or wrong links please do let me know about it. ;)

    lol ... actually there are so many links, in this thread, that you will find it very difficult to find a dead link, unless you accidently click on it.

    I still refer to Linux as a flat out operating system to my mother, not a kernel. She isn't very computer literate. :p
