Thank u for the link to the pets to update seamonkey and firefox and the warning that mozilla autoupdate hasn't worked in puppy.
As said before, I am up to date with both browsers so testing will be much later.

First tested with JWM & then ICEWM which I can confirm is now working again. Detailed below are the pets & SFS tested.

Special beta 3 and a half..

http://www.smokey01.com/01micko/slacko/slacko5.3.2.8.5/

.. iso and checksum in that folder, sorry, no PAE ver, I'll do a full beta, maybe RC on the WE.

Iso has grown 2M because seamonkey have upgraded their lib requirements of cairo and libvpx .. (updated to 2.9)

I was hoping to get a full beta out today but I have ran out of time, I had this very strange woof issue which forced me to redownload pristine woof, cost me some hours

Also, I have reverted from shino's pupsaveconfig to Barry's shutdownconfig (the ugly yellow one, may alter that) patched for ext4 savefiles.. I tested with heavy encryption too, works fine.

ETP, great about icewm, looks nice. I'll get together all the conky stuff and make a special pet I think. I'll look into shutdown issues too. Is the drive showing corruption or loss of data? TIA

CTHISBEAR.. I need some files off you mate, see previous pages..

gcmartin.. I have an idea to address your hostname issue. You are aware that when you see the connect screen after all the other startup stuffs you get the "congratulations, you are already connected" message, well, I can detct if you changed hostname at that stage and restart the network, should update the routing table in the router/dhcp server.

The push is on guys... I want 533 out the door by May 7. The base is pretty stable, if we can fix a few niggles (shutdown, cthisbear's wireless) then the rest is polish. It will be feature freeze as of the next beta/RC.

I'm getting to the pointy end of my college course (yep only a six month course, then job killing time ) and the work load will increase in about 2 weeks, hence it's May 7 or July 4!!! The kernel is already getting "old".

Thanks to all and we're almost there.

Cheers.

I was able to convert pmirror so that it
can mirror 5 folders now.

I call the application 'Puppy backup'

Fresh manual frugal install of 5.2.8.5 on the Athlon XP box.......Zero problems so far.

Made a typo.....should have been Slacko 5.3.2.8.5

[01micko]

AMD fglrx pets are uploaded for both A series kernels.

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet_packages-slacko/ and look for "amd_fglrx-12.4-3.1.10-slacko_[YOUR_KERNEL_SUFFIX].pet", latest versions, work ok too.

Not sure of your suffix? (ie kernel version..) ..click the green (or orange or red) save icon in the tray, pops up the top, also with disk usage stats in a window.

Have fun

C'mon Mick I can hardly keep up with all these puppies
Let alone make XO builds.
Nothing bad to report anyway. Just to point out that my multi-term, multi-repo search PuppyPackageManager pet works fine in Slacko 5.2.8.5 (and earlier)

mtPaint Help

This little pet will enable the Help in mtPaint. It is one folder to go in /usr/share plus an rc for /root.
