Tests 6101 both 32 & 64 bit. Same problems on AIO.
Now, touch ability is completely missing. And DVD Live boot does not pick up either the AIO's ethernet adapters (wired/wireless), merely "lo" on the AIO.

Further, I see that the fw_drv is missing with the current ISOs.

On the AMD desktop its motherboard wired adapter is found. Pristine to desktop shows: 32bit

1.Did a 2nd manual frugal install to a usb-3.0 SSD on Gateway desktop.
2.Switched to kernel 4.2.5
3.Installed proprietary Nvidia driver.
4.Installed the usual apps with PPM + pets.

It's working well, no problems so far.

gc - Try your new machine with the new kernel.

Steps to make an iso.

@Billtoo
I did use that technique on 1st Slacko64. I didn't have any reported problems then. That does not mean that the current distro is problem-free when that edit is used.

I am not sure if the same setting is used in @TaZoC's Lighthouse or in Dry Falls Just-Lighthouse, but I have not have problems there, over the years of use.

@01Micko,

• What would you advise for those of us who will be getting/using touch PCs as we go forward?
  
  
• Or should there be have a thread for using and reporting any issues when running a touch version of Slacko64?

Willing to do whatever you feel is right to assist.

@gc

for touch just do the xorg hack until further notice.

Please test that delta.. you complained, you got. Plus I reckon the kernel is your issue, since it worked in peebee's distro.

2015 and terminal frustration?

And really annoying default jwm keybindings:
Alt+Left/Right are used for back/forward navigation across nearly all browsers - its really annoying to switch desktops instead.

Am I the only one that uses a keyboard regularly?

Then there are the typical problems with my laptop.
* No right clickability on builtin touchpad (using flsynclient 2/3 finger click workaround + external mouse now)
* Intel sound always tries to use device 0 (hdmi?) instead of the actual audio, but I'll deal with that one whenever I download chrome/chromium so I can watch netflix - I don't need sound to code.

My findings after following kernel instructions. This is a pristine DVD boot results from the ISO built via instructions:

[01micko]

A delta is up from 6.1.0.1 >> 6.1.3.1 to upgrade your iso image. Use the Xdelta prog in the menu.

6.1.3.1 - What an awesome distro

Some first-run-notes:
- I activated the firewall (default options) via the connectwizard BERFORE I set up an internet connection, and it stopped all traffic. There should probably be a msg or similar to avoid this.
- The icon for the Figaros password manager is out of size.
- Will there be available a catalyst driver for Radeon HD 6550D (get correct resolution - now using vesa)?

The Zabuton icons are green
