THINSlacko Subject description: < 100MB |

THINSlacko
.. is a 99MB full featured Slacko, based on 533
It uses the 3.1.10-slacko_4gA kernel (no PAE sorry)
What's inFirefox 3.6.28 (Namoroka)
Sylpheed
What's outseamonkey-2.9.1
alsaequal
caps-libs
pequalizer
gutenprint (* that's the important one)
DOWNLOAD
It uses the same compression as FATSLacko, which is just a little more than xz. Firefox Namoroka is from March this year and is current. Flashplayer works with it fine.
Known Issues:
-may be slow to boot on some older gear (< 1GHz processor)
-forgot to mention.. use the Slacko-5.3.3 devx available from ibiblio and mirrors ..link to mirrors
This is the first full featured 99 MB puppy for awhile!
Enjoy!

Hi 01micko,
Please be so kind as to check the Download size and MD5 sum and amend or confirm.
My regards

I guess the absence of Gutenprint means no printing?

Not at all. I suspect that the majority of users are now installing their printers using manufacturers' drivers. It just means that Mick will need to make a Gutenprint PET available in a repo for people who need it.

Jasper..
just downloaded and the md5 checks out, you must have got a bad down load.. use this command: Code: | wget -t0 -c http://www.smokey01.com/01micko/slacko/THINSlacko/THINSlacko-5.3.3t-SCSI.iso |
It says 100M on the smokey repo but not here
----
DaveS and rcrsn51,
gutenprint is already in the repo in the Setup section.

Hi again 01micko,
I did have a bad download. Thank you for the OS and your help.
Hi all,
I always make a visual comparison when checking MD5 sums, but, in case it may be of some general interest, perhaps there is an automated method?
My regards

I did a manual frugal install to an 8gb flash drive.
Slacko Puppy, version 5.3.3t on Fri 11 May 2012
Chip description:
2.0 VGA compatible controller
Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 1
oem: Intel(R)Ironlake Desktop Graphics Chipset Accelerated VGA BIOS
product: Intel(R)Ironlake Desktop Graphics Controller Hardware Version 0.0
X Server: Xorg
Driver used: intel
X.Org version: 1.9.5
dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (338x270 millimeters)
depth of root window: 24 planes
# glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
302 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.388 FPS
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.018 FPS
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.019 FPS
I fattened it up quite a bit, it's working fine so far.

May I recommend winMd5Sum Portable - a simple MD5 sum checker that allows you to check and compare the md5 sums of files. It's portable, easy-to-use and quickly installs into the PortableApps.com Menu.
In XP I have a number of portable apps installed just on the C: drive - you do not need the portable apps front end. (see top of pic)
The bottom of the pic shows the T-Slacko ISO being checked with the same app running under wine in Slacko 5.3.3

Hi ETP,
Thanks for your MD5 recommendation and also for your screenshot which shows how the comparison works (especially for any users who may be interested in Wine and possibly PortableApps.com).
Thanks also for the link in your signature. You're obviously enjoying Slacko.
My regards

01micko,
Nice to offer a small pup. Actually, when you think about it a bit more, this could be the normal pup. And fatslacko the large one.
I am a bit puzzled by the choice of apps. Is seamonkey that much larger than separate firefox(older version) and e-mail. I would expect integrated packages to be efficient.
Could Opera be used ? (replace firefox, e-mail, transmission). Perhaps a 10.5 or so.
Regards,
Volhout.

Hello Volhout,
Yes, seamonkey is a 21MB pet, was 19 until the configure option "--enable-system-cairo" became unusable because they updated the cairo requirements. .
Seamonkey has Composer (wysiwyg html editor) included though and that's something missing from THINSlacko. Also, there are some CSS issues with firefox-3.6.28, not apparent in all the newer major browsers. HTML5 support is another.
The older firefox is still being developed so that swayed my decision to include it, Opera was an option too but printing from Opera still has issues.
So, there are a number of reasons I stuck with seamonkey in the main version.
I mainly built this for bragging rights.. (99 MB full featured ), still it is a useful pup and some don't like seamonkey.

Mick, I wonder about this Firefox 3.6.28 (Namoroka)
Namoroka maybe is different from standard FF but
on some sites they get very upset if one use FF of 3.6 series.
They want a later version due to security issues with 3.6
What is it about Firefox 3.6.28 (Namoroka) that you prefer it to later versions?
(I prefer FF 3.6.24 myself but that is more due to that one is familiar to me by habit. But sites tells me I ahve to update to later versions)

Nooby
Simple, the size of the pet. At around firefox-5 and seamonkey-2.4 mozilla started including libxul in their builds and this caused the package size to increase dramatically. Firefox-3.6.28 was released in March this year so is still recent and they do address security issues.
Sure, some sites object, but as stated, I wanted to see if it was still possible to get under that magical 100MB mark and not lose too many features. The main features missing are the gutenprint printer drivers (in PPM) and as said a HTML editor. I do have a Kompozer package I built and I should be uploading it to the repo soon.
Hope that answers your query.

I am booted frugally into ThinSlack now.
Surprising message from Mozilla. I try to add attachment.
What do you want me to test? I am on Acer D255 with Atom N450?
1GB intel 915 or 945 kind of chips. Atheros LAN which worked.
older text
Much appreciated I give it a try.
I get back within some 30 minutes or so.
(thnx for having it on fast site. 11 seconds download )
