Are you actually still building with SCSI drivers ? Who is still using SCSI I wonder.... All I read is reports on laptops and quad cores ....
Remember we also dropped analog modems (still in Wary I think).

Hmmmm... I have a Cedar Pro HD 5450 .. pretty low end and getting "old" in computer terms.. Nexuiz runs fine for me.. I bet you need the "newer" graphics driver I was talking about, I'll see what I can hunt up.

" Nice report mate... but the wrong bloody slacko version!!! "

Knew this would happen.

Learning Windows has turned him into a tyrant.

The dev has turned and become a critic.

They're onto me I fear.

Sound works well.
Screen good.

But.........
Me interface won't load.
Ah! the dangers of getting old.

Your report your majesty....

The Asus EeePc is unavailable.
Located near where you lived once...ha!..ha!

Thanks mate.....Chris.

Chris,

Seems to be some weird doubling up of some firmwares

try this in the terminal

I tend to agree ICPUG, but some people prefer full installs, a pet is easier, also, I know gcmartin often netboots and runs in RAM so therefore a pet is easier. I'm uploading the Libre pet now, will take awhile, it includes playdayz integration.

@gcmartin, I'm not adding java as a dep to the libre pet, it's optional and is (AFAIK) only needed for Base, which many users don't use. Can you link me to the exact Java pet that works correctly for you and I'll upload that too and make an sfs.

Hi 01micko,

My SFS' load into RAM, including jre 1.7 and LibreOffice (3.4.0.2). All LibreOffice programs load instanteously from Quickstart (which may not be included in later versions). Offline Help works except for the search feature.

You can see from the picture below, bottom left corner that I have no swap file, 597 and a bit MB RAM which is only some one third used. I also have Acrobat reader, Opera 11.62 and other SFS' in use or ready for instant use.

I use seaside's SFS loader/unloader and also his SFS tray loader - there are no checks and "fixmenus" is not updated so seaside's programs are super fast - he even has another program "to load all SFS' in any directory at once". None of these conflict with the pre-installed SFS load-on-the-fly.

I use technosaurus' Simple Menu.pet which loads instantaneously and his Create Menu.pet (where I excluded the alternative Drive icons and converted it to an SFS) which works well and takes less than a second (using "fixmenus" reverts to my usual JWM menu). Also radky's PupMenu takes some two seconds to load or refresh - whereas "fixmenus" takes some fifteen seconds on my ancient desktop computer.

My regards

My apology for this double post - now used.

Addendum 1:

Another apology, in the above post the LibreOffice.sfs should have read v. 3.3.0.4 and I omitted to say it is Slacko 5.3.1 Main.

Addendum 2:

I should also have said that I use a Multi-session live-CD and a USB stick (with many absolute links to the loaded CD - which I infrequently update.) which includes my SFS files, SeaMonkey, some 35 Wine programs and even a few pets (which I only istall when rarely needed), some configuration files and all my data (which is saved-on-the-fly so I have nothing to save on reboot or shutdown).

I have two internal hard drives, but I only mount either to make backups or to download files larger than 240 MB.

The xz compression was added to the standard kernel with version 2.6.38 .

Since There are/had been several Puppy kernels out version 2.6.39.x the code schould be something like
