Here be goannas

Slacko should be fully reproducible from woof with these attached files.

Delete Packages-puppy-slacko-official from your woof tree, a new one will be downloaded from ibiblio, if not grab it from there.

Accept most defaults and xz for 2.6.39.4

Have fun!

Hi Mick,
Enjoy your trip !
thanks for the ... string ! I couldnt resist to burn and test it on my Laptop (...Siliconmotion video) before this thread got opened !

This post several times edited after various testings of slacko 5.29.5 on this Laptop:
1. booting with pfix=ram: if SiliconMotion driver is <choosen> among the full list of drivers, then xorgwizard returns to prompt.
[an xorg.conf file has however been created, verified doing cd /etc/X11.]

Evening.
Can someone check the link for RC++?
It's giving me a 404 not found. And below it says that the file was removed.
Cheers

I **think** that this is the intended link for RC++, although I am only guessing from the choices available in that directory

http://www.brainwavedesigncentral.net/micko01/stuff/puppy/spup/RC/slacko-5.29.6-SCSI.iso

Note that the link I am providing is for SCSI drives and does not specify PAE in its name....

EDIT: Maybe not, as wget is showing my provided link as being only 112M instead of 01micko's above stated 124M. 01micko's Slacko RC is showing as his stated 124M...

2nd EDIT: I see playdayz posted (immediately below) at the same time of this edit, so go with what he says. (Thanks, playdayz!)

So, is 5.29.6-scsi supposed to be RC++?
Cheers

@Billtoo
Thanks for the info.
I can't see any PAE in your uname -ra.
Is this image PAE or not?
Thanks in advance.

john3voltas yes 5.29.6-scsi is RC++.

did pfix=ram frugal manual install to ext4. slickpet downloaded mesa driver installed and works, previous troublesome broadcom wifi found on wlan0 by SNS then configured and made the connection without issue.

what doesn't work again as reported in B5++ appears to be the multi-sound card. it will configure HDMI 0 and output sound but only until mplayer closes.

the sound settings require resetting each time something is played. think I was the only one reporting this but in other pups such as 528, 529 the multi-sound card kept the settings persistently so doubt it is my hardware.

hi all

@jim3630 are you using the multiple sound card wizard and if so what is the number of the soundcard you are choosing? HD:0 etc

I had problems with my laptop and this sounds very similar
