/etc/modprobe.conf removed

This file is deprecated, so I have removed it.

The bulk of the content is now in /etc/modprobe.d/puppy.conf, and the sound related entries are moved to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf.

I have looked through all the scripts in Woof and fixed a few that referenced modprobe.conf.

mms links in web pages
Username: upnorth
Hi Barry: I installed this in wary09 to test what worked in dpup10. http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libmms0 I can now click on mms:// uris in web pages and the link opens smplayer and plays (as i have it set up in wary09). I haven't tested this yet with a pfix=ram environment in wary. Also, you may need to create the new boolean of network.protocol-handler.expose.mms false so that it should prompt for an application the first time instead of giving the error message. I'll test in a clean wary environment tomorrow. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=459703&#459703

"Following on from upnorth's post above,using the libmms0 package mms streams can also be played with the Opera browser and gnome-mplayer. Here is how to set up Opera: Tools>Preferences>Advanced>Programs Click on "Add" Protocol: mms Open with other application: /usr/bin/gnome-mplayer Click on "OK" twice to close both dialog boxes. Browse to http://watch.squidtv.net/ to confirm that you can now view mms streams.

mms streams

"Tried both the libmms and expose-all options in Wary 09. Still get mms not enabled. On my Wary install with 1.1.18 Seamonkey, a regular about:config mms setup works fine without libmms or expose -all mods. Delicast.com lists different stream types. Wary 09 does not have "gnome-mplayer" in /usr/bin. It has /usr/bin/gmplayer.

" Okay Up North; Finally got it working with Warys Seamonkey and libmms. Seems it needed the "expose" boolean instead of the "external" boolean; not both.
