Fellow woofers..

You can duplicate this Beta release of Slacko with woof released today. See http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02413

You do need to delete Packages-puppy-slacko-official so that woof grabs the latest version. You also need the latest DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-slackware-13.37.. attached.

Have fun!

It does appear that the exact size matches in bytes Lobster. The server is telling me that the ISO is 128563200 bytes, [122M], same local.

Cheers, thanks for checking Smile

Sorry to be the bearer of such bad news.

PPPoe is still not working right, but we might be halfway there.

Downloaded and manually installed Slacko beta 1.
This time the pppoe setup went through without this PDF print screen, Start went through in a few seconds.
The pppoe gui status window shows a correct connection, so does the Active Interface symbol bottom right.
Yet, neither FF nor SM connect to the internet. Both browsers are on /mnt/home and were started from there.
Without internet I can't, of course, load anything else.

Just wondering, what would be the next idea?

Will try that as a next step (history -c).

Since it was a fresh pfix=ram install, I doubt that there could have been any history, yet. But will try...

On my Radeon HD 3850 it was necessary to include the boot option

First-boot report with the infamous BrookDale rev3

Booted up, personalised settings, clicked "yes" to restart X, personalise settings box came up again on restart of X - took the window and menu title texts with it and rippled the desktop background Shocked

, see attached pic.
Rebooted, created a savefile, the personalise settings box came up again, but disappeared without further disruption upon closing. After this, it seems to work.

Deleted the savefile and went through the above procedure twice - both times it worked like it should Smile

.

Unlucky 1st try, and lucky 2nd & 3rd Question

Nah, rather a timing issue somewhere, never noticed /tmp/firstrun on the first booting debacle, only /tmp/firstrun.tmp, while 2nd and 3rd "lucky" shots produced both these files (don't know when, or from where, they're created).
