A Broadcom b43 fix is needed from pemasu....as in Slacko.

His pet has 117 firmware files....yours 39.
I think Saluki 08 had 38.

See my post.

Dell Studio XPS 1340 >> forget it in Saluki.

""""""""""""""

And the old Internet Connection wizard has been strangled...
I cannot unload a driver >> b43.

Frisbee is a non option when you have problems.

Don't get me wrong...the old Pwireless2 and then Frisbee were great,
a real break through in Puppy.

But when you have issues....workarounds are needed.

"""""""

Good news....boots fast.

All Saluki ISOs have no trouble on this Dell booting to desktop.

No sound >> left click on volume control.
But now the fraeky sound player won't turn off.

Had 2 resort to Cntrl + Alt+ Backspace >> to kill it.

Now the bark is there on restart.

:::::::::

Only Puppy I have ever seen that opens an ISO file easily.
Please take note others.
Iso master is just too clunky.

After using 7zip for ages in Windows...this is more like it.

Can't delete or rename >> b43

>>>> Invalid cross - device - link.

I can delete the files however in >> b43.

Why not let us have a Rox pet.
I loathe Thunar.

"""""""""""""

Looks pretty....but I'm a bloke that could do with a bit of beauty
so I can handle that.

Also on a side note.
I think it was a shame that you got done over a bit,
in regards to having to do everything yourself.

This is not to have a go at anyone...evil happens.

So in that regard I would prefer you to not have burnout.

Take your sweet time with it.
Give Miss Jem a bit of love on the way.

If Saluki has to evolve more slowly so that you can finish it
in the tradition of quality of Pupeee, Fluppy etc

you do it.

Despite my habit of kicking the tyres in an oafish manner occasionally,

you are a giant amongst men.....MATE............

The b43 firmware update referred here was meant to 3.2.X kernels, not for 2.6.39.X kernels. Slacko exprerimental thread had its own b43 problems, due to broken rc.sysinit segment for 3.X kernels and due to need of newer firmware package. They are addressed now.
If and when Puppies goes to 3.2.X and 3.3 kernels, b43 users have those things fixed.

hi Jemimah

Looks and feels really nice - runs extremely well on my 10yr old laptop.

Boots v fast and straight to a desktop, complete with working touchpad - fantastic.

Outstanding - many thanks and best regards - Ray

jemimah,

xnoise edit metadata crashs xnoise.
Any chance of the Thunar media tag plugin 0.2.0, I've tried a Debian package and it works
with mp4, mpc, wv, mp3, m4a, aiff, ogg, spx, tta, wav, oga, ape, aif, wma, flac,
but I guess it should be compiled for Saluki.

I tried compiling it myself, but not be that proficient at that type of thing, I thought I'd better leave it to the more knowledgeable.

Here are the files I downloaded, I ran the ./compile and got the message "checking for taglib >= 1.4... not found" so that's where I stopped.
I would presume taglib-1.7.tar.gz would be suitable, I ran the make on it and added the file types MP4 and WMA. and took it no further.
It seem the taglib are already installed but there is no taglib.pc in /usr/lib/pkgconfig neither the files in include.

You just need the taglib DEV pet. It's in the repo.

Gee, that was easy, thanks for the tip, here is the Thunar media tag plugin.

Edit, the tag lib files are includes in the pet.

Excellent! This is cool.

If you repackage it so it doesn't include taglib (which is in the adrive already), and split the package into DEV,DOC,NLS when you run dir2pet, I will add it to the next release.

after package creation to the dedicated folder...use splitpkg script. Found in couple of versions from forum. It splits the folder to those which Jemimah mentioned.

D/l FP 9 as per techno. Unzipped it. Extracted it. Put the .so file in /root.
Still doesn't run iPlayer. Might be needing more explicit detail on how to install a .tar.gz?!

A small error, Extract with Pupzip in Thunar custom commands, the command reads" Pupzip %F ", should be " pupzip %F "
