Note: This article concludes our two-issue look at social
informatics by focusing on the emerging subspecialty of community
and communication technologies (ICTs), from the Internet to the
latest personal computing devices, are often credited with improving
international understanding. They are also supposed to support
collaboration, creativity, learning and new forms of expression and
social action. Yet the world seems engulfed in divides of age,
race, culture, language, beliefs, income, gender, knowledge and
nationality which are creating classes and identities that
threaten the basic fabric of community life.
informatics (CI) is an emerging field of interdisciplinary
scholarship and practice devoted to enabling communities with
information and communications technologies (ICTs) (Gurstein, 2004).
In their seminal monograph, Keeble and Loader (2001, p. 3), describe
CI as a multidisciplinary field for the investigation and
development of the social and cultural factors shaping the
development and diffusion of new ICTs and its effects upon community
development, regeneration and sustainability. Inherent in CI is
the need to understand how knowledge is shaped and shared in
communities, to investigate the underlying information phenomena and
processes we find when we take community as our unit of
research is conducted internationally in settings that range from
inner-city neighborhoods to rural villages, exploring how
individuals and institutions such as schools, libraries, grassroots
groups and health agencies come together to develop capacity and
work on common problems. It addresses questions of community
development, learning, empowerment and sustainability in the context
of efforts to promote a positive role for computers and the Internet
in society.
shapers of the field argued for the need to establish an
expansive mode of inquiry in CI (Bieber, et. al., 2002, p. 3).
Rheingold (2001, p. xx), too,
noted the need to develop appropriate modes of study in CI that
placed research in practice:
would like to think that Community Informatics marks the beginning
of a new era, neither naively utopian nor paralytically critical,
based on actual findings by people who have tried to use online
media in service of community, then reported on their results. In
the absence of such systematic observation and reporting by serious
practitioners, public discussion will continue to oscillate between
ideological extremes, in a never-ending battle of anecdotal evidence
and theoretical rhetoric.
is increasingly calling for research that recognizes the ability of
even the most impoverished communities to conduct inquiry and use
appropriate ICTs in ways that respect local meanings and goals (Eglash,
2004; Sugata, 2000; Vehviläinen, 2001; Warschauer, 2003).
Innovative action research projects unite community members with
university researchers and information professionals in blighted
urban neighborhoods in
the global diversity of approaches to CI is of great research and
practical significance. Commitment to community processes and the
roles of governmental and nongovernmental, corporate and grassroots
organizations vary greatly. Furthermore, specific needs of
communities, ranging from securing basic nutrients for children to
participation in complex aspects of industrialized civil life, also
vary. Not only do international scholars and practitioners have
their own perspectives, but their experience working with different
realizations can be enormously illuminating to settings here.
many have argued that CI is much more advanced in countries outside
the United States. Around the world, the following are among the
prominent academic and research institutions invested in CI:
of the most important international organizations in this area is
the Community Informatics Research Network CIRN (www.ciresearch.net).
The Association for Community Networking (www.afcn.org)
also includes international members. While research relevant to CI
has been published in a number of academic and practitioner
journals, a strong new international publication appeared in 2004,
as the organ of CIRN: The
Journal of Community Informatics (www.ci-journal.net/).
Community Informatics in U.S. Library,
Information Science and Technology Programs
growing number of academic programs across the United States are
deeply engaged in CI work. Significant contributions, for example,
come from Murali Venkatesh (2003) at Syracuse University, Jeffrey
Huber at Texas Womens University (Huber and Gillaspy, 1998) and
Kathleen de la Peña McCook at the University of South Florida (www.cas.usf.edu/lis/faculty/mccook.html).
Our colleagues are developing innovative approaches for integrating
research, learning and action that are helping to define the new
social and institutional relationships needed in CI. Nancy Kranich
and Taylor Willingham are leading a concerted effort through the
American Library Association and a number of sites across the United
States to introduce deliberative citizen forums into library
practice (www.nifi.org/). At the
University of Texas at Austin, Loriene Roy (www.ischool.utexas.edu/~loriene/)
conducts service-learning that involves students in exciting
projects with Native American communities. The Community Information
Corps at the University of Michigan represents a new approach to
nurturing and sustaining CI participation across academic and
community organizations.
research in CI also encompasses collaboration with community
organizations and residents. At Michigan and the University of
Washington, Joan Durrance and Karen Fisher have mounted a
large-scale research initiative devoted to exploring information
behavior in everyday contexts (http://ibec.ischool.washington.edu).
IBEC makes critical contributions to both CI theory and practice by
giving community members and institutions a strong voice and active
roles in its work. At Penn State, John Carroll leads the Learning in
Networked Communities project (http://linc.cs.vt.edu/overview.html).
LiNC provides a testbed for R&D that develops and evaluates
software tools and applications, as well as collaborative learning
processes, with schools and community organizations. A handful of
schools are now offering courses in CI. Doug Schuler and his
colleagues at The Evergreen State College take a particularly
innovative approach in their Global Citizenship: Civic Intelligence
for a Changing World program, where students work in teams with
organizations engaged in social change around the world to explore
issues and ideas, characterize knowledge and develop communication,
leadership and computer skills; the program culminates with
participation in the annual World Social Forum.
the University of Illinois, the newly launched Community Informatics
Initiative (CII) (http://ilabs.inquiry.uiuc.edu/ilab/cii/)
is working to identify and facilitate important CI activities, such
as those highlighted above. The CII provides a cross-campus home for
research, learning and action; a regional university/community base;
a locus for building a critical mass of CI work in the United
States; and an international hub for this growing field. It supports
collaborative activity in the form of creating knowledge and
technology that are connected to people's values, history and lived
experiences; developing models of engagement that are open-ended,
democratic, participatory and caring; and bringing theory and
practice together in an experimental and critical manner. We see the
challenge facing CI in the form of four key research questions:
work within our school is conducted by faculty (Wellman and
Haythornthwaite, 2002; Heidorn, 2002; Berlin and Schatz, 1999),
students (Brock, 2005; Hagar and Haythornthwaite, 2004; Lastra,
2004), and staff.
CII grounds its work in the philosophy of the American pragmatists,
which rose to prominence at the end of the 19th century and
introduced the theory and practice of community inquiry into a range
of fields, including aesthetics, education, social work, law and
public citizenship (Menand, 2001). Developed most fully in the work
of John Dewey (1956, 1966), community inquiry is based on the
premise that if individuals are to understand and create solutions
for problems in complex systems, they need opportunities to engage
with challenging problems; to learn through participative
investigations; to have supportive, situated experiences; to
articulate their ideas to others; and to make use of a variety of
resources in multiple media. The aim of community inquiry is to
develop a critical, socially engaged intelligence, which enables
individuals to understand and participate effectively in the affairs
of their community in a collaborative effort to achieve a common
good (John Dewey Project on Progressive Education, 2002).
a cornerstone of community inquiry is that it aims to respond to
human needs by democratic and equitable processes. A successful
community of inquiry is not one in which everyone is the same, but
instead one that accommodates plurality and makes productive use of
difference, accepting crisis as an often necessary aspect of true
learning and social transformation. In the establishment and
accomplishments of Hull-House,
Jane Addams most fully demonstrated community inquirys tenet that
democracy must extend beyond the political expression to permeate
the entire social organism (Addams, 1910, 1930; Elshtain, 2002). The
communities of inquiry centered in Hull-House
claimed enduring achievements in community research, action and
policy, including major reforms in child labor law and drastic
reductions in cholera deaths in Chicagos tenements.
inquiry and informatics combine in the pragmatic technology
(Hickman, 1990) approach to community-based ICT creation and use.
Pragmatic technology encompasses the common language notion of how
to design tools to meet real human needs and accommodate users in
their lived situations. It also sees ICTs as developed within a
community of inquiry and embodying both means of action and forms of
understanding; ICTs are an end result of, as well as a means to
accomplish, community work. Day and Schuler (2004), in declaring the
subordination of ICTs to building healthy, empowered, active
communities (p. 15) and noting simply that researchers are
part of the world in which they live (p. 219) resonate clearly
with the ideas and practice of pragmatic technology. Two cornerstone
CI projects based in the CII demonstrate how pragmatic,
community-based technology initiatives respond to human needs
democratically and support participation and learning across
institutional and social boundaries.
(www.prairienet.org) is a
thriving 10-year-old community network. Through Karen Fletcher, it
has pioneered an innovative community-wide systems analysis process
in which inter-institutional consortia form to develop and implement
together Web-based CI applications, such as a set of health and
human services information and referral directories, a multi-county
volunteer matching system, a service to support the provision of
emergency drop-in childcare in local institutions and a system that
manages the process of sharing excess stuff (from computers to
couches to crayons) among community organizations. Prairienet also
runs an ongoing program of establishing community technology centers
in non-profit organizations and low-income neighborhoods. Through
Martin Wolskes computer networking course (www.isrl.uiuc.edu/~mwolske/lis451/spring05/),
students work with homeless shelters, after-school clubs, churches,
community centers and other organizations in Champaign-Urbana and
East St. Louis to install computer labs.
Inquiry Lab
Community Inquiry Lab collaborative develops software to support
community inquiry and provides extensive training and education,
consulting and action research in community inquiry and informatics
to non-profit organizations and individuals worldwide. The
collaborative has produced iLabs, a suite of free, open source,
Web-based software that is participatively developed in an open and
ongoing fashion by people of all ages and from different countries
and all walks of life. People use iLabs to create interactive
websites that support the communication and collaboration needed to
pursue their inquiries in classrooms, community centers, libraries,
professional associations, research groups and other settings
(Bishop, et. Al., 2004). iLabs includes software for library
catalogs, syllabi, document sharing, generating online inquiry
units, Web boards, blogs, calendars and image galleries.
Prairienet and iLabs represent experimentation in the integration of
community inquiry and informatics. Through collaborative practice in
the creation of content, contribution to interactive elements and
incorporation into practice, community members are not merely
recipients of these technologies, but they participate actively in
their ongoing development, yielding enhancements which are then
available to all users.
Paseo Boricua: A Scenario for Community
Inquiry and Informatics
CIIs Paseo Boricua Community Library Project (Bishop and Molina,
2004) provides one scenario of melding collaborative practice in
inquiry and informatics across university and community settings.
Paseo Boricua is a mile-long section of Division Street in
Chicago's Humboldt Park area. It is a vibrant neighborhood
characterized by strong, multi-generational, multi-institutional
community activism, where about 70% of residents are of Latino
origin, and 30% of families live below the federally defined poverty
level. Paseo Boricua embodies the development of an autonomous
cultural, political and economic space for Puerto Rican and
Latino/Latina residents that came into being as a response to
encroaching gentrification and displacement in nearby sections of
the city (Flores-González, 2001; Rinaldi, 2002). The Puerto Rican
Cultural Center (www.prcc-chgo.org)
has served as an institutional anchor in Paseo Boricua for 30 years,
galvanizing neighborhood residents around issues such as poverty,
gang violence, AIDS, destruction of cultural identity, lack of
educational resources and racism.
Paseo Boricua Community Library Project aims to create a distributed
community of inquiry whose participants come from all walks of life
and in which each participant has both something to learn and
something to contribute. Our goals are to learn how to mobilize
neighborhood information and cultural resources and technology and
connect them to the work of local activists; address the so-called
digital divide; and enrich library and information science
with the experiences and knowledge of Paseo Boricua residents.
Within the context of the project, we are creating a community
library in the Puerto Rican Cultural Center by cataloging its
collections of books, original liberation posters and human rights
network archives. We are also developing services, such as a
books-to-prisoners program and family reading nights. In the course
of this work we are pragmatically using (for general communication
and coordination) and creating (e.g., a Web-based library catalog)
iLab software, as well as creating forms of collaboration
appropriate to life in the neighborhood. These include a Saturday
street academy course in community librarianship for youth,
community cataloging work days, a community-curated exhibit of
artwork by political prisoners and a summer symposium led by
university and neighborhood participants that is devoted to the
concept of community as intellectual space.
Closing Words
this article, we offer a brief overview of the emerging
international field of community informatics and highlight important
work taking place in library, information science and technology
programs across the United States. We explore the connection between
community informatics and community inquiry that we are striving to
foster in the University of Illinois Community Informatics
Initiative. We invite your active participation in this growing
collaboration of people who are finding common cause in uniting
action, research and learning in pursuit of socially beneficial
transformations in their communities. In closing, we recall the
Kellogg Commission's (1999, p. 9) definition of engaged universities
as ones that have redesigned their research, teaching and service
functions to "become even more sympathetically and productively
involved with their communities." If indeed we can align our
inquiry in this way, we will greatly reduce the risk of creating, in
the words of John Dewey, technologies that bring "new modes of
unloveliness and suffering" to the world (Ratner, 1939, p.

Comic 409: Electric Skateboard
No. You are not nearly a good enough cartoonist to get to use Calvin and Hobbes. In fact, I don't think there are ANY cartoonists who are good enough to co-opt Bill Waterson for their own comic. You give me back my childhood or I'm calling the Universal Press Syndicate, Munroe.
Also, thanks for pointing out in the title that this is a double comic. Because I wouldn't have known by just looking at it.
We know you like electric skateboards, incidentally, you mention it fairly frequently. We also know that you like python, so you can stop mentioning that so often.

I just realized that "Double Comic" is supposed to parallel "Double Dash" from the title of the Mario Kart game it's parodying (a little bit). But, god, it comes across as pretentious.ReplyDelete

By Matthew Heimer
My career differs from my parents' in many ways – for one thing, both were safely retired before they ever had to deal with email. But more notably, my father spent almost his entire professional career, from graduation to retirement, working for the same company. In contrast, I'm on my fourth full-time employer since college, which in turn makes me a relative slowpoke among Generation Xers, who are more accustomed to hopping around.
One reason for that generational gap is that loyalty no longer pays off as routinely in the corporate world as it once did: Aspiring executives often climb the ladder faster by hopping among competing companies, while employers are more likely than they used to be to recruit top talent from outside their walls. But there are exceptions to every rule, and Fortune magazine's website is featuring some this week. This slideshow features 11 'lifer' CEOs who have spent their entire careers with the companies they now lead. Most are baby boomers, three are women, one is named Hugh Grant (but it isn't that Hugh Grant), and all have been with their employers for at least 30 years.

Now lets talk about learning the old fashion way and researching it yourself by reading the rules and regulations. The best sources for finding information regarding specific requirements is from your State Boards or Regulatory Commission. But you still have to deal with your city or town building and occupancy codes to get a "C of O" approval (Certificate of Occupancy). We have compiled an alphabetical list by States and their web addresses related to the regulation of barbering and cosmetology. Remember each state requires different things but some important safety items have been a Sharps Container (used razor blade disposal), certificates / licenses displayed and have on file a MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for every chemical you use.
· A disinfectant container with disinfectant or sterilizing solution
· Seating accommodations in reception area
· Cabinet for clean towels and supplies
· A receptacle for used towels
· Reception Desk
· Floor Mats
· Child Booster Seat
The best places to get the information you need on the equipment requirements for a Salon or Barbershop is your local Chamber of Commerce and your state board.
The following links are to all of the State Boards:

By Elizabeth O'Brien
Today's society sends older workers signs—some subtle, others not so much—that it's time to hang it up at age 65, says Olivia Mitchell, professor of business economics at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Americans can start collecting Social Security benefits as early as age 62; they can start withdrawing money from their IRAs without penalty as young as age 59 and a half; at age 65, many partners are ushered to the door of their law firms. Both employers and older employees respond to these social cues, Mitchell says: the former with age discrimination, and the latter with the belief that they're past their prime and shouldn't bother keeping up their skills and connections. Yet "the notion that just because you're 65 you have to sit on the porch and rock is completely obsolete," Mitchell says.
Words to live by. But those who buck the norms and remain employed past 65 have some financial housekeeping to attend to, as Morningstar's Christine Benz reminds us in an article today. Working has implications for Social Security benefits, Social Security taxation, IRA/401(k) contributions, 401(k) required minimum distributions, and health care coverage. In the "who knew" category: The income you collect, tax-free, from municipal bonds is counted in the calculation of your total income for Social Security purposes—and can play a role in triggering taxes on the Social Security benefits. If workers' income from wages, investments and retirement-plan distributions is lower than $25,000 a year for singles and $32,000 for married couples, Social Security benefits are tax-free. But they're taxable above that. In fact, if total income is above the highest thresholds of $34,000 for singles and $44,000 for couples, up to 85% of Social Security benefits become taxable.
Bottom line: if you're working and your total income exceeds the limit, it's best to postpone taking Social Security, Benz recommends. If you're actively working, you can also defer 401(k) plan distributions past age 70.5, provided your plan allows it, which can help keep the taxman at bay.

Electrostatic info page.
It only takes 25 electrostatic volts to irreparably damage an integrated circuit
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) has been around since the beginning of time. However, this natural phenomenon has only become an issue with the widespread use of solid-state electronics.
Sources of ESD
All materials (insulators and conductors alike) are sources of ESD. They are lumped together in what is known as the triboelectric series, which defines the materials associated with positive or negative charges. Positive charges accumulate predominantly on human skin or animal fur. Negative charges are more common to synthetic materials such as Styrofoam or plastic cups. The amount of electrostatic charge that can accumulate on any item is dependent on its capacity to store a charge. For example, the human body can store a charge equal to 250 picofarads. This correlates into a stored charge that can be as high as 25,000V.
How does ESD damage electronic circuitry?
ESD is a tiny version of lightning. As the current dissipates through an object, it's seeking a low impedance path to ground to equalize potentials. In most cases, ESD currents will travel to ground via the metal chassis frame of a device. However, it's well known that current will travel on every available path. In some cases, one path may be between the PN junctions on integrated circuits to reach ground. This current flow will burn holes visible to the naked eye in an integrated circuit, with evidence of heat damage to the surrounding area. One ESD event will not disrupt equipment operation. However, repeated events will degrade equipment's internal components over time.
How does ESD occur?
ESD can occur in a variety of forms. One of the most common is through human contact with sensitive devices. Human touch is only sensitive on ESD levels that exceed 4,000V.
A recent investigation found the human body and its clothing capable of storing between 500V and 2,500V electrostatic during the normal workday. This is far above the level that damages circuits yet below the human perception threshold. Other sources of ESD damage to equipment include:
• Troubleshooting electronic equipment or handling of printed circuit boards without using an electrostatic wrist strap;
• Placement of synthetic materials (i.e. plastic, Styrofoam, etc.) on or near electronic equipment; and
• Rapid movement of air near electronic equipment (including using compressed air to blow dirt off printed circuit boards, circulating fans blowing on electronic equipment, or using an electronic device close to an air handling system).
In all of these scenarios, the accumulation of static charges may occur, but you may never know. Furthermore, a charged object does not necessarily have to contact the item for an ESD event to occur.
How do you measure electrostatic voltage?
One of the most effective ways to identify potential ESD problem areas is to make measurements using an electrostatic voltmeter. This meter will effectively measure electrostatic voltage up to 30,000V on all conductors and insulators. It also will display whether the charge is negative or positive. This may help you determine the source of the electrostatic accumulation.
How can you prevent ESD?
It's unlikely you can eliminate ESD completely from any site. However, experience has shown that the following guidelines are helpful:
• Keep all synthetic materials at least 4 in. away from electronic equipment.
• When cleaning printed circuit boards, use a spray labeled as non-static forming.
• When troubleshooting electronic equipment, always wear a static wrist strap that's grounded to the frame of the device. Also, wear the wrist strap when handling printed circuit boards.

Posted on February 10, 2014
When people offer collections of books to the Book Fair, they use phrases which sound good to THEM, but which we at this end know need further exploration. We've gone through some of these before. "Really old books" is one, "First editions" is another. Another is "Scholar's Library". What the donor means is that this is a focused collection put together by someone who devoted a lifetime, or at least a retirement, to studying a particular subject. What the phrase means to US depends a lot on the scholar.
This scholar may have been a hobbyist and may have been a Pulitzer Prize winner for a book on the subject. The scholar may fall into some category in between. For Book Fair purposes, this does not matter. What matters is that they brought together a lot of books on one subject, not how they applied the knowledge they derived from the books.
And the subject doesn't matter all that much, either. A large collection of books on guitars can be as exciting as a large collection of books about Herman Melville. (More exciting, actually, since the Newberry already has virtually every book on Herman Melville.) The concentration of books on a single subject is something we can advertise, something that lends a special flavor to this year's Book Fair, like all those books on Asian studies. But the Asian studies collection was NOT a "Scholar's Library".
To Uncle Blogsy, who can be awfully picky at times, a "Scholar's Library" is a library which has been USED. Each book has been acquired for a PURPOSE, and that purpose was not necessarily to provide Uncle Blogsy with saleable books.
Take two great collections that came in last week on the Civil War. Both collections are from scholars I happen to know about. The first scholar wrote a book I offer for sale every year, and a sequel which is much harder to find. He gave us, oh, let's say a hundred pounds of books which reprint Civil War photographs. Such books can be massive; these are. They contain hundreds and thousands of pictures of the first heavily photographed American war.
But he was writing his own books, see, and he was looking for pictures of the people and scenes he was writing about. When he found a pertinent picture, he marked it with a sticky note, and later tore out the entire page. He did this very neatly, and he remembered which book was which, too, because he put the pages back into the right volumes. This was thoughtful: otherwise I might never have noticed that each of these 900-page tomes has ten to twenty pages torn out. (With smaller books, you can tell pages have been removed: it's harder with something the size of an unabridged dictionary.)
Now, the other Civil War scholar was not a page-remover. He was a page ADDER. His books have flyers from the battlefield discussed, letters from the authors, schedules from the convention where he picked up the book. This bulges the book a bit, and makes it look untidy, but I can deal with it. I don't know how I'll keep his pages of notes from falling out during the Book Fair, but if you come early and buy them before anyone else, you'll have them.
But he seems to be one of those people who flattens a book out on the table when he reads it, so a lot of his books which started as one volume editions are now in several volumes. A book inscribed to him by a really important scholar is broken into three bits, while others lack covers or have whole sections hanging onto the binding by a thread.
Yes, I do like scholar's libraries: it's fun to see all the titles the scholars have found in their subject area. And I can't blame the scholars for using the books they bought: as I say, they weren't thinking of us when they picked up the books.
But oh, sometimes I wonder why we don't get more donations of books from people who can't read.

As you all know, Jim Harbaugh is the first SF coach to lose in the SB.
Kaepernick is the first 49ers QB to throw an INT in the SB.
2 stats that 49er fans love to throw out is that they are undefeated in the Super Bowl and that their QBs have been perfect with zero INTS.
I am thankful for those two guys today for destroying two parts of 49ers lore that they can never get back. Thanks boys!

Problems booting, installing Puppy from CD
I'm on like my 4th or 5th install of a different os on this machine, i had win 98 on it to see if it was stable, all was good, i let it run for a day while i checked out different pieces of hardware i have laying around so i can sort through the trash. i had no intention of staying with win 98 i plan to make this little machine a nas server of sorts. i have a nas200 that just stopped responding i fooled around with it but im just gonna salvage the hd's and move on its dated and slow. i installed ubuntu and well its was way to high on system resources so i had to find another distro. my pc is and athlon 650 with over 500 megs of ram, 4 hard drives, intel pro 100 nic, cant remme the video i believe geforce agp nothing fancy. i tried puppy linux from the cd and after installing a good bit the screen just goes blank, the machine is on, no error mesages, it doesnt respond, i rebooted and eventuallly i get back to a blank screen. i went through the walk through and it looks nothing like his screen shots. i get no options just watch it go. i am making an iso of the version he uses in the tutorial here. ill give that a shot. is there any list of hardware that does not play well with puppy? should i go with a different linux to be a nas?
i found a version of puppy with ubuntu ( gosh i hope this is right) and did a live install and it went through fine, i partitioned a drive and formatted it, i believe i chose to install puppy on one of the partitions but after i rebooted the pc froze up, so i'm stuck again. i put the cd back in but no dice, its stops with a message about the nic link is up at full duplex 100 Mbps. looks like more tooling around.
it looks like its video related "x failed to start" ugh
aight im back in with an ati rage pro 128, i tried several other nvdia cards and they didnt boot all the way geforce 6200 and mx 440.
still looks like a slow boot up so its still going from the cd, whatever i did to make it boot from HD i did wrong.
scratch that locked up at desktop no response from key or mouse

Did everything run correctly using the LiveCD?
If not , start with a minimum of hardware and if all is good then add the extra hardware one piece at a time so that you can determine what hardware is causing the problem(s).
Sort these problems before doing an install to the HD.

ive used 3 different video cards and 3 different nic cards and 3 different cd rom droves and 4 different hard drives. it was a very long day. as for testing each piece how am i going to know if its bad if the pc just locks up, it could be a driver issue in some cases. some errors are fairly clear others are not so. im considering using a pci video card just to get it going but will it mess up as soon as i switch back and how will i install drivers if that is the issue? is there some log file i could post ? where is it and how do i get it ? thanks for your help

Second Dewbie's suggestion to try Wary, and further to try older releases° (not just the latest!) - as for installing (frugal or otherwise to hdd), it
be simpler to go with a liveCD multisession since that keeps everything on disc (assuming the optical burner is in good shape, bios is correctly set to boot from disc first and so on).
A possibility with some newer releases on older display hwr (especially precise, etc) is to use a bootcode (after the bootsplash). If you're still using the
ati rage pro 128
puppy radeon.modeset=0
might help - if so, you can edit /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf to modeset=0 so you don't need to use the bootcode to get a usable display every time you boot. Similar bootcodes should be available for nvidea but they differ somewhat..
One of the easiest logfiles to remember is /tmp/xerrs.log and it usually gives some hints as to what may be failing (as a starting point, anyway) - use mp (or similar) cli text editor if you cannot get to a desktop environment
hth & welcome to the pldf
if I recall correctly, somewhere back in time many Pups had the Xvesa kdrive server as an alternative to Xorg (mostly in 4 series and earlier)

Post subject: replying to several ppl at once here
ill start there, well actually i did that and just switched the os to linux and that is when i discovered the issues so my knee jerk reaction was to swap out the video card, i don't have sound or modem, a few questions pop up when i think of this direction.
system requirements and drivers. win 98 was a little more forgiving on raid controllers, this PC has a quantum fireball which as soon as you hear it sounds like a scuzzi controller (sp??) idk if that matters. i have other hard drives, i can test with but if it doesn't use em does it matter?
also i noticed it has a 200 watt PS, i swapped it out for a 400 watt.
i don't know how to edit files in Linux and prolly couldn't navigate to them. but i didn't think the HD was used anyways on a live install.
as for video here is my selection geforce 6200 256 mb (agp), geforce 4 mx 440 128 MB (agp), aopen mx 400 64 MB( agp), pa50v (agp), geforce fx6200LP (agp), ASUS v7100 (agp), sp 6800 WTF that is (agp), ATI rage pro with or without tv tuner, s3 (pci)

Not all versions of Puppy work on all hardware.
Older hardware works best with older versions or versions of Puppy made for older hardware.
Lucid Puppy 528.005
Classic Pup 2.14X
any of the newer Puppy versions that have a retro version.
If you run from a live CD of the Puppy version you can play with it and not install to computer.
However, if you make a save file for the live CD, that save file will have specific settings and setup info for the hardware at the time the save file was made.
You change the hardware and it may or may not work using that save file.
You can clean boot a live CD by using the boot option
puppy pfix=ram
At boot screen hit F2 key to input options.
This keeps any save files from being used, but it will boot like a new boot with no saved settings.
If you do an install of Puppy, to say a hard drive, that install is setup for the hardware at the time of install.
Changing hardware may or may not work with the installed Puppy setup and settings.
Easy thing is redo install.
Point is, any time you change hardware, Puppy settings may be looking for something different, and so it will have problems.
Some of those graphics cards are old.
The only graphics driver that has a good chance of working is the Vesa driver.
Some Puppy versions will default to it, some will not.
To force Vesa driver at boot:
At the boot screen hit F2.
Add the command puppy pfix=nox
This will get you to a prompt.
Type xorgwizard at the prompt.
Select the vesa driver.
set resolution.
run test to see if it works.
finish xorgwizard.
back at prompt.
Type xwin
should see desktop.

ok went back to original hardware minus sound card and nic's
tested 3 hd's before i found one that was flawless
stayed with orginal PW since it worked before.
so i got into win 98se fine, only issue is no pci bridge driver and after it was working i added a nic and it installed fine but no lights no connectivity.
next step add slacko puppy it installs fine however i never get a dual boot option. i either get windows or if i put in the cd i get puppy even though after running puppy from cd then choosing to save it to the hard drive. it detects the nic card np. lights and all good.
so at this point both os have some hick up. thank you all. I'm thinking since puppy has net access i should like possibly do updates or look for drivers that way but i don't know how to find the repository thing.
and can i get windows drivers and save them in a location retrievable from windows?
thank you all again ill keep plugging.

Subject description: OS
i've been instructed to use an older version of puppy os some os because it works better with older equipment. I'm ok with that its just I"m getting too many different opinions. I don't know enough about Linux to get email let alone install or choose one of the bazillion flavors. someone decide for me.
remme its going to be a nas server/ media server for music, movies, backups, as long as its taking up space we can surf with it too, let the grans play net games.
thank you all again
oh one other thing if i need to edit some file, please walk me through it or point me to where i can go and do that task, its not DOS, grep is Greek to me.

You need to run the bootloader config program to install a bootloader. This will give you a boot menu to choose which OS to boot to.
Running from the Puppy live CD
Run the program Grub4dos Bootloader config.
Usually found in menu->System->
The default options usually work.
pigpup what video card has the vesa driver
They should all work with the vesa driver.
The vesa driver is a generic driver that provides the basic graphic support built into all graphics hardware. It will not provide any hardware specific added functions. That is only provided by manufactures specific graphics drivers.
Good thing is, it usually gets you up and running.
After that, finding a better driver is an option.
What version of Puppy to use is really up to you.
Slacko is good, if it works OK.
Another version may work better. Each version of Puppy is different in some way.
That is Linux. Choices.
I personally like Lucid Puppy 528.005plus

i have 2 versions of windows partially installed now and one full install and cant get to any of them.
after an hour or so i finally got java installed so i could go to nvidia website to update the video drivers and i get a list of nothing that says puppy linux.
this is more like windows that i care to remember what a nightmare.

There should be Nvidia drivers in the Puppy Package Manager. Try them.
The stuff for Linux, on Nvidia's web site, needs to be compiled for the specific version of Linux, to be used.
At this point in your knowledge of Linux and Puppy a little hard for you to do.

Give specific details on what is happening
You do what?
You see what?
The details are the clues to the answer to problem. General statements tell us nothing.
Mouse click option double or single click.
Right click on any desktop icon.
ROX-filler->options->Pinboard->Pinboard Behaviour
Uncheck single-click to open.
