jemimah,thanks for Cairo dock, works great even in no OpenGL mode, I really like the desklets, far better than trying to use pwidgets.

I noticed there was no menu entry, this will get it working
(no OpenGL)

Updated 007 save file to 008, manual frugal install to cfcard. Everything went well, all settings preserved, Excellent fonts now, my CUPS printer installation of an HP4500 survived. I'll address the sfs vs pet printer driver ? in another post.

One oddity noted. The xfce4 panel reverted to the default settings. Reapplied the launchers and appearance settings easily enough. Saved to the flash and rebooted.
Panel reverts back to the default.

Removed the save file and booted 008 fresh. Added one launcher to the panel, set some appearance parameters rebooted, creating a save file, and poof it reverts to default again.

In /root/.config/xfce4/xconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/ the xfce4-panel.xml file is being overwritten with the default on reboot. If I copy in a saved xfce4-panel.xml file the panel is fine.

The launchers in /root/.config/xfce4/panel survive ok and all other xfce4 settings also are ok.

Can someone try to replicate? No problems at all here til 008.

Thanks,

I should be be going to sleep soon..
Luki 008 is impressive. Midori still has it's quirks but Saluki looks like it's good enough for day to day use. Great work, Jemimah.

Geoffrey - naughty boy! You have broken the board rules. I cannot see the whole of p47 even on my widescreen. You have to resize so images are visible @ 800x600 on a 4:3 screen. We don't have a proper moderator on this Board, so we rely on correspondents doing this themselves. There are millions of folks out here who will struggle with their old 14" crt monitors. We did all this years ago, several times, but newcomers may not be aware and oldcomers with posh modern kit tend to forget the less fortunate in this unequal world. Otherwise, enjoy your reportage.

jemimah, angel: thanks for 008, great selection. Nobody works so hard and effectively as you! You are the blast of fresh air to keep everyone interested and on their toes.

Maybe we could persuade you to look at EudoraOSE sometime? There are several .pets available. I use Claws a lot (because it works on almost every distro); it is a really good default selection, but folks who have used Eudora tend to like it so much they adopt it. It now belongs to the Mozilla camp so might have better compatibility with those preferring SM and FF browsers? Not sure about that, though. Downside is size, so it may need to remain .pet or .sfs? It is strictly Webster-o-centric so should appeal to your countrymen.Of course, it permits accumulation of personal dictionary, like the rest of email clients, but this can be tedious for the indolent and indefatigable distro-hoppers.

Luki looks ready for beta

But is this suppose to happen with cairo-dock?

Hi All,

@aarf

I can confirm smokey01's finding, an 40MB iso after using the 007___008 delta file.
Awaiting the next delta file.

Cheers
