Ahhh JWM, yes puppy is good.

I agree the user is the best thing about pupy. But for the OS itself

Layered Filing
Efficient coding
puppy-packages (could we call them puppy-snacks?)

HTML-5 is an option

One should not defragment drives with puppy installed. Although Windows needs it periodically, Linux in general does not (the exception might be systemd), and is usually broken by doing such. Back-ups become invaluable if borked by a defrag.

I've been partial to FF browsers. Up until the recent bash/wget/SSL3 upgrades, FF23 was my choice. Since the updates, FF27. I really have limited needs for Flash/Java, so YT using a small HTML5 YT-Player (FF add-on) fits the bill. For WP/SS needs theres a different puppy used that has also had these...

One other metric should be included... small size files

16000 x 16384 bytes
or better yet 16000 * (RND(1024 to 65535))

small sized files are the bane of $$$ tests.

Do you need Spreadsheet/Word Processor/Presentations (Office) ?
Do you need to be able to read and make PDF's ?
Do you need a Skype-like app?, or is simple phone OK?
Do you need transcription?

So we have been scurrying around a bit fixing security stuff. And the one thing that GNOME and CUPS seems to rely upon is GNUtls/nettle. Is it ttime for upgrading these? openssl = 1.0.1j (jay) bash = 4.3.30-1 wget = 1.16 now I see that GNUtls is 3.0.32 with nettle 2.5 Considering the slacko-5.7-np w...

A reminder here that wget 1.14 that is included in ALL of the distros in this thread needs an upgrade to version 1.16. There is a pet that will accomplish this here.

With thanks to l0wt3ch for all things done.

With thanks to 8Geee, this has been accomplished. Very busy around here lately, and he offered help. The previous postings have also been editted to update the discussion to ff27. The links to the original version posted here have been altered to the new version. New folks get the better headstart. ...

I found out what the culprit is...
Its adBlockEdge

Turns out that 8Geee added a Malware site blocker in ABE.

Yup its listing archive dot org as a malware site and blocks all scripting from it!

Thread to be marked as solved

hmmm... I'm testing 8Geee's modified version of slack57-ff23. This one is #3. I went to panopticlick.eff.org and I notice two changes since his original eee version. Clicking on TEST User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 which is OK... not spoofed BUT superco...

Using FF23 because "it isn't broken" anywhere else. So far only archive org is showing this "bug". Not sure where in the forum it belonged... seemed better to ask other regulars if Bash update caused this Browser caused this (config allows js to run) Site caused this (its asking ...

I went to archive dot orrg pages to check on my iso details, just routine. When I get there I notice all script, no images/media. Recent change to bash 4.3.30 Puppy slacko-5.5XL (java js and flash 10 OK) Site seems to be telling me js is not installed. java version is 1.6.35 IIRC last week site was ...

A reminder and notice that the Bash Update 4.3.30-1 works on puppy slacko-55XL. I have tested it with "not vunerable" for all tests. Location of the pet is http://smokey01.com/carolina/pet_packages-carolina/bash-4.3.30-1.pet Download to root and install. To check the function use the follo...

A reminder to update bash to 4.3.30-1
http://smokey01.com/carolina/pet_packag ... 3.30-1.pet

This pet works in slacko 5.7 and derivitives.Save the pet in root and install.

tried it, looks OK, runs OK but needs foo here for my printer.
Scanning e3ay for 2G-surf models. Maybe FreeOffice pet can go with this. 512M memory might get in the way.

OOPS: foo IS installed no need for the D/L. I forgot this point.

no, its because Slacko-6.0 is a whole new level of puppy that works different.

5.7 is fiine, I use it alot. That reminds me...

I can report that I have puppy-slacko 5.5XL up and running on an ASUS Eee model 702 (eeepc 8G). It can in fact operate on the 701, also tested. Not sure about the smallest 700-surf (2Gb SSD), and untested. One might do better using SoftOffice-freeoffice, rather than LO4.x. I let puppy drop out of X ...

After fixing Xorg, some websites do not cooperate with smaller resolutions (screen width). This is noted by not having a horizontal scrollbar. This can be fixed in Firefox (27.0.1 here, and reported in FF29 as a bug) using about:config and typing in dom. The results will have a line listing dom.disa...

I let the 702 Model eee boot up slack57-ff23 again and selected the INTEL driver, then NOTHING. xorgwizard found settings and timing, and went about its business. Successful boot to desktop after typing in xwin after"Finished".
