nice one but dont forget the kernel source that i did check the updated post from BilltooLobster wrote:http://puppylinux.org/wikka/SalukiTipsi think other noobs would love that

Let me know when a pet is available. For now I have created a link on the tips page. I Just do not have the patience to follow this procedure . . .
the kernel source is here : http://smokey01.com/pemasu/Saluki/kerne ... atched.sfs
and by the way on http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Saluki the extra pet button links to the old saluki pet place. the new one is: http://www.smokey01.com/saluki/pet_packages-saluki/

There is a problem.
We have chip-adapter PCI -> PCIMCIA name Ricoh RL5c475.For it's working we need core module "yenta_socket.ko"
wich is absent in standart destribution.Whese can we get it and how can we makeit to work.
I checed Saluki-011 and 009.Add in please in future destribution.3G modem inserted in PCIMCIA slot is not working.

Yenta_socket is there. Check in the bootmanager. What makes you think it's not there?shelezyaka wrote:There is a problem.

My understanding is that xz decompression is easier on the cpu than gzip. (It's compression that is slower). Can you find any documentation that states otherwise?mavrothal wrote:xz compression in the SFSs brakes possible backwards compatibility (older kernels) and taxes the CPU of older hardware with minimal bandwidth/size gains.jemimah wrote:New SFS files:

I believe it shows that xz is decompressing twice as fast as bzip2 but half as fast as gzip.
Depending on the xz compression level, xz also requires 4 to 100 times (!) more memory during decompression, compared to gzip.
Edited for clarity.

Minitube is now available in the ppm and also bluetooth.
If you want the bluetooth applet to work correctly - first install the fixed hicolor icon theme from here:

a great thing for saluki would be easier installation of proprietary drivers
in slacko it took me (i like to think an advanced user) a compilation + some dodgy use of an old pet i found just to get my broadcom-sta to work
so yeah, easier driver installation would rock
oh: and anyone know where i can get a little support with woof? my woof2 slackware cant use X

Indeed there is a module. I made a mistake when I did a FULL install, and does not create the directory / lib/modules/2.6.39-ski/initrd is located in the module.
Fixed, everything works.
There is a problem with the way Firefox is installed, with it having it's own directory and not in the standard one /usr/lib/firefox.
I have installed Standlone flash player which requires these lib files from the firefox directory,
if I system link these files to /usr/lib and I install the latest firefox then the system links are broken, also if java is loaded it creates a plugin in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins.
The menu icon is 16x16 which looks not that nice, all the other icons are a minimum of 48x48.
And, just to be a pain , the menu entry doesn't need to state the version, the mouse over shows that from the comment line in the firefox.desktop.
Other than these points, Firefox runs extremely well.

I have added setpci to the pciutils packages for the next release. You can download the new version here:
http://smokey01.com/saluki/pet_packages ... saluki.pet
I looked at xfce4-volumed, but I couldn't get it to work. I don't know of any other way to get pretty volume notifications. Possibly it needs a newer libnotify - but this is the most recent version I could get to compile.

VLC 2.0rc1
new VLC 2.0 rc1

anyone want to make a SFS?
and is XBMC impossible ? STU90 made one for Lucid, think that is compatible for Saluki ?
Best regards

Appreciate this Jemimah, its a massive download (136 MB) but if you have the hardware flaunt it . . .openshot working finally
I got it working with Blender available as an SFS (change the Blender location to the full address which is something like /opt/blender/blender)
The extra gold title for 1.4.2 is there . . .
This is a powerful tool for video editing and simple enough for an amateur like me to use. I am sure there are many online tutorials for Openshot.
1.4.1 was reasonably stable under Slacko. (Openshot is not completely stable).
I am hoping this new one will be even more solid.
I created a couple of 3D titles, this is CPU intensive and makes use of Blender. Each took maybe 20 minutes on my Athlon 3500. Very nice. Thanks again.
