Since you are approaching "final", just a couple of details mentioned before.
Here they are all together.
1) There is not really any need to restart X at the initial setup if the only thing changed is the timezone
2) The desktop icon fonts look really bad with Xvesa(w/o or w/mesa) at any size (image). Maybe try a more vesa-friendly default font?
3) Xorgvideowizard window does not scale with fonts (image)

Little things, but we not make an even better first impression

Beyond that Slacko RC2 looks really-good on my Mac-VM, 6-year old (V4000) laptop and the XOs

Mick,

Psync doesn't display the new DST info as zdump is left out of /usr/bin

Hi 01micko et al,

I am not sure if it should be possible to save two or more different sets of customized desktop icon layouts, but the picture below does show a minor inconsistency.

My regards

Hi Mick,
on Laptop with siliconmotion video:
same results on RC2 as on earlier RC;
running xorgwizard: upon "Silicon* enhancement" box, if answered <YES>, then xorgwizard stops and outputs to prompt without any comment nor message;
see also details here: running an xorgwizards earlier version (i.e. the one from 4.99.1 or wary 514) at that step drives to X working with the smi driver.

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/siliconmotion_drv.so (109K) seems to be an earlier version than the one (119K) proposed for Xorg 1.7.5 in a previous post.

Cheers, Charlie

Hi 01micko,

Frugal installation on an ext4 partition is working great including your nvidia-280-13-k2.6.37.6-s.pet, installed via slickpet. However, I installed shinobar’s excellent pupsave config-1.9.9.pet so that a 4fs save file is created and rebooted before installing any other software, also I had to install
hplip_scan-3.11.3.pet so that my scanner is recognized. All software including extras that I’ve added is working fine. The sound volume was a little low which is corrected by changing most Retrovol default settings to maximum.

Extra applications:
Bibletime_lucid-2.7.2a.sfs Bible study
devx_slacko_5.2.97.sfs
jre-1.6.0.27.sfs
LibreOffice-3.4.3_en-US.sfs Office Suite
pupsaveconfig-1.9.9 PupSave personal storage setup
nvidia-280.13-k2.6.37.6-s Configure NVIDIA X Server Settings
hplip_scan-3.11.3 HP scanner drivers
Acrobat_Reader-9.3.3-Lucid Adobe Acrobat Reader PDF application
BibleAnaayzerl-4.1.0 Bible study
edit_sfs-2.1 Edit .sfs files
eSword-9 e-Sword
expositor-a The Expositor's Bible
get_libreoffice-0.10 Get LibreOffice download and install LibreOffice
LHP_sys_info-0.6 LHP System Information & Video Report
Pet_Maker-2.1 Utility to make a PET & SFS
pulpit-c The Pulpit Commentary
PupApps-1.5.6 PupApps launcher
PupClockset-1.6.1 PupClockset manager
PupControl-1.7.5 PupControl panel
PupShutdown-1.7.4 PupShutdown manager
PupSnap-1.6.2 PupSnap screen capture
Startmount-0.5.5 Startmount Mount drives and programs at start
theWord-3.2.1 theWord
wine-1.3.30-i486_v1 Wine Windows Program Loader
pwidgets-2.3.7 Pwidgets tiny desktop apps
firefox-aurora-7.0.1-spup Firefox Aurora Web Browser

It’s so fast and stable that I’ve moved it to the top of my Menu.lst.

Cheers,
Jim

SlackoRC2++ (slacko-5.2.97-SCSI-PAE-HIGHMEM.iso)

System Info
Fresh frugal install (on NTFS partition)
AMD Athlon64 @2300 MHz, 1Gb RAM
GeForce 6600 @1900x1200 using nv driver, Xorgwizard autodetect working
Haven't got round to testing Nvidia blob yet though.

Audio
Sound is working well in DeaDBeef-0.51, Pmusic, and Flash (Youtube). Same problems with Mplayer as before (which I do not have in THD with the 2.6.37.6 kernel). Browsing the directories using Pmusic is a bit laggy (as previously).

Network / Wireless
My TP-Link TL-WN821Nv3 USB dongle was detected and is working, thanks to the Atheros in-kernel ath9k_htc driver, as well as the now apparently also included appropriate firmware (which is not present in the 2.6.37.6 kernel).

Software
Installed Firefox 7.01 (Aurora): works. DeaDBeef works. Also tested some portable Linux apps (from http://portablelinuxapps.org) which all worked flawlessly (e.g. Peazip 3.9, KeePassX 0.4.3).
E2fsck:ed two old .3fs files from other Puppies just for the hell of it, of course with no issues.

Looking forward to the final release!

Changes

[jim3630]

manual frugal install to ext4 pfix=ram of RC++ without issue on this dual core p6100 hp. continues to auto-detect broadcom wifi driver on wlan0.

multi-sound card continues to appear not to work as it does not save the prior choice each time a movie is played.

continues to use the same name as iirc 4 other pups.

overall very fast and responsive.

Used slickpet to download Cloud and after a reboot I see an icon named Cloud on the desktop which on clicking gives me a set of icons for...dropbox, facebook, gmail etc.
But clicking on any of these app icons does nothing.
Does this work for anyone else?
Frugal install to a HDD.
