The tray clock.
Best I can find is it is a 24 hr clock setting only.
I guess you will need to install a different clock program.

I have installed Slack Puppy 5.3 on hard disk ( frugal). After rebooting, I have missed desktop application Icons and Hard drive partition Icons. It just shows Triangle in the place of programs, etc. How to restore the programs Icons. I have noticed this problem in Warry 5.2 also. Please help me.

1. Updated to Slacko-5.3 from Slacko-5.2.97-k2.6.37.6-smp
The update went smoothly, the new Slacko is looking good and working well, except...

2. Psip32 version 1.2 freezes if/when I attempt to configure it for use.
I'm using 8-year-old desktop hardware [ASUS A7A266 mobo].

installled 5.3- 2.6.37.6 pfix=ram, manual frugal to ext4 on dell d610 pentium m. auto-connected to wifi detecting broadcom b43 driver made connection without issue using sns.

the save file does need to be on same partition. first save placed on another partition and it crashed on reboot unable to find the save file. sound, vidio, everything tried works.

Frugal install on EXT4 partition or booting directly from CD.

1) Slacko 5.3.0 boots fine either way.
2) Make small changes to hostname etc and shutdown.
3) Create an encrypted (heavily) save file (EXT2) on EXT4 partition.

The subsequent booting will show "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!"

If the savefile is normal (not encrypted), then the subsequent booting is fine.

First saw this in RC1, then again in RC2, now in the final release.

Dear 01MIcko

I would like to inform you that your solution (terminal command) worked for me. Now I am able to see the Icons on the Desktop. Micko Sir , Thank you very much.
