Fatslacko is good.
But I can't remaster it to keep my personal apps without pup_save.
Someone will give some instructions (about remaster problem).
Thank

I downloaded the source code for hardinfo 0.5.1 and before compiling
it I added libsoup from the salix repository.
./configure followed by make and make install.
Now the network updater is enabled and you can syncronize with the
central database to get the latest benchmark results for other
computers and more.
I also found that I had to run each benchmark before generating a report
or the generate report option would fail.
I can see what a slug this pc is now Smile

FATSlacko frugal install pfix=ram to ext4 hdd on dual p6100 hp laptop. broadcom wifi auto-detected on wan0 by sns and connection made without issue. display changed with first run xorgwizard, ppm updated, get flash got without issue. libreoffice quick like the rest of the system. savefile ext4 made rebooted with persistence. mesa installed via slickpet and glxgears very smooth. resting state after reboot very low ram usage.

looks very nice. thanks for the work!

This sounds very interesting - why not make it an official variant. This would be the standard configuration for many people (Libre Office, VLC).
greetings and thanks for all the work - emil

01micko,

First of all, this is a good decision, to integrate the packages that everybody would install if they really want to use the distro. Use it as a W*ND*WS replacement.

I currently run from SD card on a eeePC 1001HA (1.6GHz N270 with i945 graphics and RT3090 wireless, 1Gbyte RAM).

2 first observations.

- After I install on SD card, select Frisbee for network connection, I cannot see any wireless networks. The problem lies in the fact that frisbee uses a white "paper" and draws text with white "ink". I detected this because my environment has many wireless access points, and I saw the scroll bar schrink in size.... After shutdown-restart this is fixed (save file is created).

- It is very nice that Libre Office is integrated. But the file extensions are not detected (created a presentation, saved in .odp format (teh defautl libre office format). But the file is not recognized as a Lbre Office format. Rightclick, Open With ... works. Maybe it is possible to support at least the default formats for libreoffice ????

All in all everything looks smooth (I had good experiences with 5.3.2.7, so I hoped it was not broken in final...). Will continue to work with this version unless I hit some major bug. This is a keeper .....

Regards,

Volhout

I installed FatSlacko on a test box (can't remember the stats of the machine and I'm at work right now). Very pleased with this distro and saw no problems. I hope to see it continued as the only thing I needed to install was Firefox 12.

Very good work here! Smile

--Ray.

Just curious Micko: What's the Qt version? 4. what? I ask because I'm wondering whether or not I could use this as a testbed for pemasu's RazorQT's desktop environment - which requires Qt-4.8.0 if I remember correctly.

Thanks for letting me know! Smile

Good luck with this "puplet" my Puppian Friend!

Cheers/Amicalement,

Ah jimmi.. it's 4.7.3 sorry. Outa luck then eh?

I will be compiling some more qt apps down the track, maybe even qt-4.8, but probably not until Slackware goes 14 or whatever number is next.

Cheers
