1439823 2017-09-26 15:35:00 I got Studio up-n-running and I even weaned it off my CAT5E cable .

It's running on my Alpha Wireless right now . . . right here! :eek:

I just plugged it in, booted up and there I was! On line!

It would have been nice if it could have run on the legacy WiFi that just needed an antenna . I even put the high-gain antenna on the legacy card - but nope . Nada!

Anyway -----> Hooray! :punk

Thanks for all the assistance, youse guys!

Now I've just gotta find all that neat stuff in it for my recording studio stuff .

Hey - one question - can I get rid of the icon for the floppy drive off the screen?

1439824 2017-09-26 20:36:00 Hi Joe
You can get rid of the floppy icon.
One way would be to disable the floppy drive controller in BIOS
The other way, is to right click on the desktop, select 'Desktop Settings'
click on the icons tab, at the bottom will be a list of icon types to show on the desktop
one of those is 'Removable Devices' it has an arrow that if you click it will
expand the list further, click in the "Disks and Drives' box to remove the tick
the down-side to this is that all removable drives will no longer show on the desktop.
I haven't found a way to remove just the floppy, it would probably require editing fstab or similar.

1439825 2017-09-27 00:16:00 I understand . One thing that I noticed is that when I right click on the icon, I get the opportunity to see some of the apps for which I wanted this distro for in the first place .

I'll check it out .

Right clicking on the desktop gives access to them as well at the bottom of the list, 'Applications'

1439830 2017-09-27 02:46:00 Do youse guys remember 45 RPM records?

The icon to which you point me, looks like an adapter to let 45s play on a 33 1/3 RPM-78 RPM machine. Remember them?

I do remember those, although more commonly here the 45s just had the regular small hole and a larger circle you could press out if you wanted so adapters were not normally needed as hardly anyone ever removed that centre piece.
I always thought the larger holes were for jukeboxes and the like and nobody had one of those at home that I ever met.
