Hi 01micko,

Thanks for the GParted f2fs aware pet,it works fine.

A utility to create a dual boot PHATSlacko card or stick can be found here:

Help:

I tried twice to load to a stick and run Libreoffice.

First I used a 1g stick, then a 2g in case install was not complete, should be enough. I can run Libreoffice from the CD desktop icon. No hard drive. So boot should be clean. I get the sticks to boot, and most things to run. I get a message when I click on the icon on the desktop, file not found or no reference to defaultwordprocessor.

Any suggestions or can you duplicate the problem. Same for Calc of course.

Thanks.

Minnesota: Did you remember to copy the adrv_slacko_5.5.00.sfs from the ISO onto the flash drive?

I ran PHATSlacko on a flash drive with ISObooter and it worked fine.

Ran ootb on my i5 quad core/ATI HD5750 setup (cd start up with save file on hard disc).
Great, with only one small minor prob.

I don't like the size of the menu fonts in VLC, so went for qtconfig - not in the menu
system anywhere. Fixed by opening it's .desktop file and adding X-Desktop to Categories.
Desktop seemed a reasonable place to me.

Libre Office is great, but I do like to have a local help system. I did try to compile
LO myself a few days ago (in 5.4 - configured without java and a few other things, but
make crashed insisting on having java). As I have the help source file to include with
my compilation is there any way I can install/link it into PHS (phatslacko)?

edit
have now thrown in Stellarium 0.11.4 and Scribus 1.5 svn sfs's (both compiled in Slacko 5.4)
and both run fine - fast and problem free.

Many thanks for this one - I think I will be using it for a long time!

I have your audacious 3.3.1 sfs in my PHATslacko remaster, I made pets of
audacious 3.3.4 a few days ago in another slacko 5.5 install so I just
installed audacious-3.3.4-i686.pet,audacious_DEV-3.3.4-i686.pet,
and audacious-plugins-3.3.4-i686.pet in PHATslacko and it's working
fine.
The Audacious 3.3.4 that I run in the other slacko 5.5 install won't
play mp3 files but 3.3.4 does in PHATslacko.
I made pets of 3.4 alpha1 as well but 3.3.4 is working so I'm going to
leave it at that.

There seems to be a problem with this distro's SAMBA.

Edit2: this problem seemingly is linked, somehow, to DNS/WINS registration. One of the Live PCs has magically appeared with its server name and workgroup names showing as well as a MASTER name (workgroup line) as well. Its information fields are filled when viewed from on all 3 PCs, while the other 2 PCs fields remain with empty fields no matter where the smbclient's query is run for them.. (SEE BELOW in "More Additional Information")

Edit1: Warning, this problem is showing up in FATDOG620 which also ships with a current SAMBA for system startup. (SEE BELOW in "Additonal findings", as well)

What is occurring is that the PC is being statted with SAMBA which doesn't display a hostname. And nothing appears to be working to get it to product its Netbios hostname. This is observed soon after FirstRun completes by pening a terminal and doing the following

hey micko

gvfs fixed transmission/audacious errors


@simargl

curious to know more

[01micko]

@ally.. good gvfs fixed it.

simargl is just peeved because of this. Never mind his bagging of puppy in general and alienating his major adrive developer.

He'll either get over it one day or fight to the bitter end. Doesn't matter.
