What I *should* do is recompile 2.6.39.4 non-PAE and offer that as well.. and if I find the time I will. 2.6.39.4 is that much superior on all my kit so far.

In retrospect I should have done that first but I was too lazy to find the config option in the kernel config. [ ]

Hi Mick,

[01micko]

Ok Charlie, good, it partially worked.. try this one (I'll remove the old one)

Cheers

EDIT
If this one fails Charlie, hang in there there is one more option

Hi Mick,

[chrismt]

How do I unzip an .rar file in Slacko?

Thanks!

[01micko]

Thanks for report Charlie.. we are nearly there . When you get time there is more tests as you know, no rush .

I have a little time tomorrow and will release RC . There will be changes to the kernel structures. PAE will be identified as such when running "uname -r". The default kernel will be 2.6.29.4 NOT pae.

So...to clarify, RC will be released with 2 kernel options, both the same kernel, compiled slightly differently.. one standard and one PAE They will have unique identifiers which is essential to getting the correct 3rd party video drivers (and others as they become available).

We are really and truly at the very pointy end but I have confidence. New woof is coming together just fine. The release I make will be fully reproducible down to the checksum.

There is only one thing I have neglected, Fprot. I know tasmod and pemasu have done some work but I need to brought up to speed. My workload is at optimum... no need to overload .. so I'm not ashamed to ask for assistance (yes I know stuff has been posted).

Anyone think of anything else? I'll be checking here about 2200GMT 111005 and that will be absolute zero. No requests, only essential bugs fixed thereafter. i expect to post RC about 8 to 10 hours later.

This has been a fantastic ride and the climax is upon us. Are you ready? I am

Cheers

@ 01micko:

Will the missing ATI drivers be in this one?

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/r300_dri.so
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/swrast_dri.so

Hi 01micko et al,

If, and only if, Fprot for Linux is solely an "on demand" scanner then it seems to me to be falsely named since there is no protection, but, at best - detection and hopefully cure.

Windows users need higher quality "active" protection, with possibly "on demand" scanning as a secondary tool. Though "on demand" scanning of a Download directory/folder may prove useful in Windows or Linux.

If you use Wine and want a super-fast download (instantaneous with Broadband) and a fast (60 secondish) "on demand" scan try the reputable (but may show the occasional false-positive - so never delete recklessly) http://download2.emsisoft.com/malaware/MalAware.exe which can be bookmarked in SeaMonkey or any browser.

My regards

My view may be wrong and comments and criticism are invited,

Would it be possible to include a menu entry for alsamixer? It is the mixer of last resort--when nothing else works, alsamixer works, at least for me and my weird sound cards.

hi all

Good idea Playdayz, a lot easier than having to run it in terminal (strange soundcards here as well )
