It's been awhile since I looked at the code, but I am aware that there is no service script. To be honest I didn't thoroughly go through the code at all, I mainly just got rid of the pupcowsay or whatever it was and used gtkdialog-splash. As far as I can remember everything was dealt with in the Startup folder.

I will review my package though, it's quite old. Also, note the package I use in Slacko is "frisbee_special".

Thanks

Beta 4 is out!

As promised there are delta for 4g and PAE from beta 3 which was declared a non-starter. No delta for firefox as there was no beta 3 uploaded for that.
Wireless in all 3 is working on a variety of cards that I have.

I decided to try the pae version of beta 4 and did a full install on
my emachines D620 laptop.

Operating System
Version
Kernel Linux 3.4.17-PAE (i686)
Compiled #1 SMP Fri Nov 2 19:12:33 EST 2012
C Library GNU C Library version 2.15 (stable)
Default C Compiler GNU C Compiler version 4.7.1 (GCC)
Distribution Unknown distribution

The wireless network is working again with this version.

Sound didn't work at first, there was a red x beside the retrovol icon
in the tray.I configured retrovol and unmuted everything but still no
sound, I ran alsamixer and pressed F6 to choose the sound card and
rebooted, sound is working now.
Multimedia
Audio Adapter HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB

The graphics card support (ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200
Series]) is great, Nexuiz and Google Earth work well.

There is the problem with the puppy menu not showing any kdegames
entries but the games work fine when started with gexec.

That's it so far, thanks.

I've added the delta files needed to install the Broadcom wl wifi driver onto Slacko 5.3.7.1 both kernels k3.2.33-4g and k3.4.17-PAE here:

Bit of a problem in 5.3.7 non-pae, mick. All my wifi dongles have stopped working. Sometimes the base station is initially detected correctly in SNS but no connection can be established. Never ever had any luck with Frisbee, not even with Saluki, and it was true to form in this test. Dougal's utility didn't work either. What did you do?!
P4/2.66/512 - Cohiba/Hama/zd1211 dongles, plenty of oomph, no connectivity!
