Debian Wheezy, amd64, TDE 3.5.13.
Trying to print a construction drawing, pdf format in kpdf. I use 11x17
paper which is, depending on orientation, either ledger or tabloid.
The image printed is 8.5x11, letter size. The image is not scaled to
11x17.
I use cups 1.5.3 + depends and recommends. hpcups 3.12.6 (color, 2-sided
printing) driver. HP Officejet Pro 8600
Tried TDE R14 with the same results.
Evince prints fine,
Can anyone verify?

Hi Greg,
I guess this may be related to bug 1
(http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1).
Could you add some detais as a comment in that bug, if possible attached a sample file for
test printing as well.

Exe GNU/Linux (Debian Wheezy live ISO with TDE) is now available with a
486 kernel version and TDE R14. TDE is a good choice for older hardware
with non-PAE processor.
The 686 version with R14 continues with periodic updates.
Package lists (available separately) are similar to previous versions.
The ISO remains <700MB with GPL software only.
The R14 images will not be so well tested as the 3.5.13 versions. R14 is
still under development and soon outdated. Therefore periodic
dist-upgrade is necessary post-installation (current TDE repo is
preconfigured in the ISO)

Hi,
I think I'll try your distro on my Sony VAIO PictureBook C1VN.
This crap has a 600mhz Transmeta Crusoe 5600, developping approximately 16mhz of
equivalent Intel CPU power :)
And it has 128mb of RAM, not really upgradeable, killing every bit of possible
performance...
The interesting point is that this Transmeta CPU is in fact a 586 virtual machine, so it
is non-PAE. Debian was too heavy for it and I want to see your distro running on my C1VN.

128 ram may not be enough for a useable TDE. If you got that far, the
ExeGNU installer might puke. 256 is probably the useable minimum.. but
do try it and let us know!
Debian was too heavy for it
Depends what DE you chose and perhaps you needed to use the optional
text-based installer. ExeGNU is Debian Wheezy-based.
Another possibility is antiX (also Debian-based) which has 486 kernel
versions and claims to run on 128 ram.

As David pointedd out, it is based on Debian with a 486 kernel. It is
usefull, imho, to b able to install a base system, no X, and pick your
DE or WM based on hardware. Distro's are convienient for providing this
for you but the ability to do it yourself illustrates ..kernel+gnu tool
chain +X, WM or DE asneeded.
I do prefer Debian for a base for my installs, I add TDE , do not mix
other DE or WM in.

But will it run on a 486??? *smile*
Keep in mind that all Pentium Pro and up(except for the 400Mhz Pentium
M) support PAE. Only the K6, original Pentium & similar chips don't
support PAE.
I've always wondered if enabling PAE helped or was faster/slower. I
had a Thinkpad A22p with a P3/1Ghz that seemed to have issues with the
PAE kernel(IIRC). Most PAE kernels really only add support for NX/XD
bit so enabling it on a P3 with less than 4GB RAM seemed pointless. I
do have a dual P3/1.4 system here with 6GB RAM, but it collects
dust......

Hi,
Just a little feedback from my tests!
First of all, Transmeta Crusoe too doesn't support PAE too, but it is pretty rare.
I didn't had the time to install EXE GNU/Linux on my Sony VAIO C1VN (128mb RAM), but I
did try it in VirtualBox. It works very well and it seems to me to be a very well crafted
system.
I prefer it tremendously, compared to plain, vanilla Debian.
But, concerning the memory usage, 128mb is way too low and it would not run comfortably on
that. I think I'll have to stick with IceWM, which is not that bad too.
Thank you very much for your contribution to the TDE project!

I installed in a testing partition in a new ThinkPad and in an older

I have that no wireless networks problem because I'm using only an
ethernet-to-wifi adapter instead of a conventional USB wifi adapter. I
normally use either or both. I'm guessing it's got something to do with
Wicd or modules which do or do not support certain chipset features.

You probably need to check WIcd configuration, in particular
the name of the wifi card to use. Could be wlan0 instead of eth1 or something like this.
I use Wicd on my TDE machine, no problem whatsoever, once configured correctly.

Thanks to all who replied to my post.
Unfortunately, any version of TDE in my new laptop has in many places
been unable to make an online connection. It may be due to lack of
drivers or firmware. So for now I'm running Linux Mint (Debian Mate)
with some Trinity apps and will have a go at this some time later.

By default Linux Mint (even the LMDE) enables all available firmware.
If it is a firmware issue I seriously doubt the issue is with Trinity and
just because it works with MATE doesn't mean it would work with MATE on say
normal Debian.
I don't particularly like WICD anyway and much prefer Network Manager. I do
not know if Network Manager KDE witll work with Trinity though.

I don't particularly like WICD anyway and much
prefer Network Manager. I
do not know if Network Manager KDE witll work with Trinity though.
Isn't this on R14? Why is wicd being used instead of network-manager-tde?

Assuming that means why does ExeGNU "live" use wicd, reasons are wicd is
DE-independent (ExeGNU also has a minimal XFCE), requires relatively few
dependencies and actually works. Any required reconfiguration to suit an
interface other than wlan0 should be quite minor. In an installation,
you use what you choose.
RE firmware: ExeGNU is intended to support the Debian Free Software
Guidelines (DFSG) https://www.debian.org/social_contract .. If you need
non-free firmware you must add it yourself, as documented by
https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi
Some other distros may have a less strict attitude towards closed-source
(or even have corporate partnerships) and include such firmware.
Sorry for any inconveniece!
