I tried to compile parole-0.8.1 but failed with too many errors. There's parole-0.5.4 in the repo, probably the last version for gtk-2.

Haven't figured out how to get ISO's to show in thunar, Tahr did it by default as well as slacko-5.7

Thats a bad news. Do you have any ideas about gstreamer based player that can play audio CDs, DVD videos, audio files, and HD video files but as light as parole?

Not really, but have a look here: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/apps/

Okay thank you. I noticed that xslacko fail to run X on radeon video cards because the radeon firmware is missing on x-slacko. Does Xorg driver can provide basic display on radeon video cards?

By the way a new version of slacko is on progress. Can you produce x-slacko version of new slacko version when its released?

Is there any thoughts for X-Slacko on 32&64bit in the future?

Looks like billtoo has had Radeon working in X-slacko-4.x, see this post http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 567#898567
Unfortunately, I don't have anything newer than a Radeon 9000 to test with.

I've been working on X-slacko-4.2 based on slacko-6.3.2-uefi which should be released in the next day or two. When a newer version is released, I will most likely do that as well.

No thoughts on 64bit as of yet, is there any advantage for a script based small and fast linux? 32bit will run on anything.

Mistfire,

I don't know if it can use gstreamer, but have you tried xhippo?

I'm with you on that - the only incentive I see to provide 64-bit are some apps from the big corporations like Google (Chrome has become 64-bit only) and Adobe (32-bit PepperFlash disappeared for a time) and MicroBloat (Skype is heading 64-bit only) and this tendency might increase.

@rg66 does the future release of x-slacko can boot on UEFI and also shows mounted disk images on thunar?

X-Slacko-4.2 is based on slacko-6.3.2-uefi so I am assuming it will boot UEFI although I haven't tested it yet.

Still haven't figured out how to show mounted ISO's in thunar but haven't spent much time on it, I'm building this version from scratch so it's very time consuming.

X-Slacko-4.2 is out and has been manually built from the ground up using slacko-6.3.2.

I've uploaded a 4.1 to 4.2 delta , my internet has been so slow lately that I gave up on uploading an ISO. I'll make an official announcement once it's up.

Quickcheck: Delta downloaded, md5sum checks. Delta applied, md5sum of generated iso checks.

Video fine, glxgears FPS at 1450 with FF open.. very good. Posting from FF now, I'll do a pristine later and do a bit more checking.

I did a manual frugal install to a usb-3.0 SSD, computer is a lenovo
desktop:

I updated PPM and installed some applications.

When I ran Firefox there was a popup saying a newer version was
available.

I installed the proprietary Nvidia driver.

I installed ristretto and xfburn pets that I made for the last
verstion.

X-Slacko 4.2 is working fine.
Thanks

EDIT: I found a problem when trying to eject a DVD.

EDIT2: I remembered that this was a problem in LxPupSc and your post to
peebee on it, I downloaded the pet that peebee made
(zz_udevrules_cd.pet) and installed it, then rebooted.
DVD's eject properly now.

Billtoo and Marv, thanks for testing.

Firefox-45.3.0 was released on Monday, I was too busy building/bugfixing to even check, figures.
