That note is only for people installing SlimBoat in Wary or Racy.
If Wary or Racy users have done a glibc upgrade they will know about it.
If so they should use the standard SlimBoat package rather than the Wary one.

Most Wary or Racy users will need to use the Wary SlimBoat package.
It contains its own "private, internal" glibc upgrade.

Standard SlimBoat will run in most recent Puppies including Lucid and Exprimo.

SlimBoat is lighter and faster than the big browsers such as SeaMonkey, Firefox and Chromium, but you should always have one of those browsers standing by for use on those rare occasions when you come across a task that SlimBoat won't perform.

No icon 'download' Slimboat

#102 Post by Pelo »

No icon 'download' Slimboat, but it's not important for me. Slimboat is a Good browser, and i shall do my possible to get it famous.
Nevertheless, Firefox, seamonkey and Chrome have been used by millions of people. No doubt they are good browsers too.

Version 1.1.50

Change log from previous version only shows:-

-- Update Turkish language file.
-- Fixed bug in form filler.

....but they have released it, so I have adapted and repacked it for Puppy and uploaded it to:-

Special version for Wary or Racy is also there. Users who have already upgraded their glibc in Wary or Racy should use the standard version.

I use Slimboat for two months. I never managed to make functional flash player.
Yesterday, I found your message.
With your solution, now flash works (precise571woofce).
Thank you!

Problem to keep usernames and passwords

#106 Post by ASRI éducation »

Slimboat (1.48 / 1.49 / 1.50) does not keep usernames and passwords.
Example: at each browser restart, I have to write username and password used for Murga forum.

Do you have the same problem?

I do not have the same problem. You might want to try Tools<Options<Privacy. You might have something ticked that prevents you from keeping yourself logged in.

I do. In both Dpup wheezy 3.5.2.11 and Lucid 528.006 sulu 002.

I use save files and hove found ifI install first then both palemoon and slimboat will save settings. But if I use a save file of approx 1.3 gig size and install slimboat last it will not save settings.

Thank you for your answers.

HTML5

#110 Post by chapchap70 »

Are you guys able to watch/stream HTML5 videos with Slimboat? I am able to watch flash but not HTML5.

HTML5 Video: http://roaming-initiative.com/mediagobl ... -vacuumed/

If I try to watch the above video with Slimboat, I get an error stating something to the effect that your browser doesn't support HTML5 videos; get a modern browser.

I'll try that a little later. I just installed Slimboat in a completely new build using LX wheezy and so far I haven't had any issues with saving settings, etc. LXW uses the same kernel as Dpup Wheezy but seems to be more stable. Go figure

This forces me to use a more resource hungry (Firefox).
Otherwise, Slimboat is still my favorite browser.

Version 1.1.53 repacked and uploaded as .pet and .sfs
Version for Wary or Racy (with its own glibc upgrade) also available.

This has some extra security features such as the option to enable/disable SSL3.

I noticed that the search engine website startpage.com did not load in the previous version but it is fixed in this one.
