I finally got a VM to work with the recent crop of puppies with the 3.8+ kernels (Upup-Precise/-Raring, Arch Pup, Alpha etc).
This baby is impressive.
Everything worked out of the box. Even the VMware video driver.
Very well done Mick!!!

Delta is available for next... @94MB it's the size of an ISO (You know where to find it!)

EDIT...

Everything is uploaded now ..

See main Post!

Just being repetitive..

Hi mavrothal,

I have a new kernel build script that compiles aufs-utils from git against the headers produced by the script, it fixes sfs_load otf

The correct headers are in devx.


So yes! Safe assumption..


EDIT: you may be interested in ThinSlacko coming soon, especially a re-mix for XO-1

I burned the iso to a dvd, then booted the dvd and used the F2FS
installer to prepare and install to a 4gb flash drive.
Now running from the flash drive install.

I was running the latest PHATSlacko live pfix=ram on the old quad-core, in the middle of a glowing post about how everything was working fine, when I opened Hardinfo .......... computer immediately froze up and a few seconds later the display turned to a multi-colored graffiti .Hard poweroff. Repeated and froze up again.Something in these new kernels doesn't like my Nvidia chips.

Hi James.

Can't remember if you had the same nvidia card as I have, GeForce 8400 GS or it may have been Jim1911.

Anyway, fwiw mine are doing ok, with pemasu's too.

Box in question runs Windows 7, Mageia 2, SolusOS 2, and naturally Puppy ....Lucid, Slacko 5.5,Macpup 529, and Precise 5.40 ........so I'm fairly comfortable in thinking it's not a hardware issue.

Hi Micko,
Just had to write in and congratulate you on the this Particular Slacko.

Slacko has been my main OS since 5.3 but the main core with adrive is perfect for me. I already had my addon SFS built with all my favourite apps, SMOffice, Seamonkey, etc. Just renamed it to adrv and I was good to go with frugal install.

Video with intel driver is working great OOTB. Everything so far is good.

Did notice that the 3.8.x kernels on the boxes with the newer Nvidia chips always has a string of errors when running "glxgears" ....... I'll try to get it to run long enough later to grab a copy.If I can grab it before the computer freezes up.....
