@belham2 yes; it is on future releases. Just like the current release. It uses 4.9.x kernel which is an LTS kernel

"I still keep the spirit of SLIM because I want a small puppy but still out-of-the box. I still figuring out how to make it smaller."

bravo as long as your Puppy keeps different, it's a real choice (chance) for Puppy users.
Rich stay rich (no need to think, just to pay). Poor (Slim) must be clever ! 'Malin' in French

Really like the clean look but include the Ralink MT7601 Driver in the next update, if you could please.

@js83 you can download and install the driver here http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/no ... -3_all.deb

I'll see if this one works and report back. Thanks

Update/: It didn't work.

Well in that case, you can use this FDRV https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2FRkt ... =drive_web

Just place it beside the X-Slacko Slim SFS file and boot it.

Nice work, misty, thanks. Small, fast, Slacko, CD-R, what more could anyone wish for...

Thanks @Sage I will keep it as small as possible

I keep a version with parole in my toolcase. Playing to-day.. Parole is for Xfce.. Better than VLC, Gnome-mplayer ? No, but that changes the menu, the so classical menu
Something different, from time to time. To day, spanish de america del sur.
Just use my Puppy, no removal, no add , as it is.. as a passenger on Sunday relaxing time.
X-Slacko Slim 4.2r ??? (unique, stable, and flexible)

Hello I'm currently playing with tiny core packages. I hope that it will reduce the size of X-Slacko Slim. As of now I'm successfully created a smaller initrd using xz compression and some tiny core packages which is 1.7Mb compared to current initrd which is 2.8Mb but the user friendliness was still remain.

Also tiny core version of mplayer works. its files size was 10Mb compared to 12Mb current size. I hope gstreamer will become smaller as well.

Do as you like, Mistfire.. you will be able to go one step backwards if you did the wrong way. Don't let Dogs be slimmer than our puppies
Some devs get their Puppy Slimmer by providing tiny browser (elinks) or no browser.. That is not valuable..
XZ compression is better for downloading, but worse for opening.. Not really important.. some seconds to start are nothing when you spend hours and hours playing your Puppy..

New X-Slacko Slim iteration released:

Changes:
* More optimization for small screen
* Smaller but user friendly initrd
* Improved EeePC mode configuration
* Some support for OLPC XO-1 and Sony Vaio laptops
* Reduced filesize

If you can do it, wondering why the rest can't, don't, won't?! Thanks again, misty.

Dammit - my Vaio VGN-TX37GP would have been ideal for this I think, but alas the mbo carked about 3 weeks ago. Might work well in the replacement Lenovo x130e however... thanks, mistfire

@Puppyt i hope it works on your laptop

mistfire,

Not sure what you did, but r53 works superb on my DELL E6430 laptop.
Maybe it is in the 4.12 kernel, maybe it is the zdrive, not sure, but this works flawless.

No video (blackscreen) problems anymore (the last version without this problem was r37).
Wifi works
Audio works
Touchpad and mouse work
Ethernet works

The rest I still have to test, but it looks like this one is compatible with my hardware.

Thanxxxxx

P.S. what is the devx you used for this version ? Any changes for this kernel ?
