I used the delta to create 5406.iso then burned the iso to a dvd.
Booted dvd and did a frugal install to the hard drive with universal
installer.
Booted up frugal install and installed kdegames with ppm, works.
Installed devx,kernelsource and compiled proprietary nvidia driver.
Installed pets and an sfs, chromium says flash outdated,fixed with
getflash.
Copied pvr firmware to /lib/firmware.
Several reboots along the way.
Ran remaster live cd, then burned the remaster.iso to a dvd.
Booted up remastered live dvd, here I am.

Hi Mick

Notice that the Broadcom WL driver is no longer included in Slacko 5.4.0.6 - is this a deliberate omission??

It works fine if it is loaded....

Cheers

most likely it is the famous glitch in the old mouse
that produce an error. So forget all about it sorry

Hey Mick

At last I managed to set up GRPS connection via my old SE k750i (connected via USB cable), because I wanted to test network_tray's ability of changing tray icon.
Spent some time trying different combinations, restarting X and digging inside modemiconset* script, until I downloaded network_tray source code and looking into it I got "feeling" (still don't know C) that probably it somehow depends on Frisbee.
So in the end I launched Frisbee and indeed - the icon has changed instantly! (screenshot)
And it looks really cool!
I just wonder, or rather do not fully understand why there's a need to launch Frisbee, to enjoy that feature..?
There's also possibility that I'm doing something wrong - I'm not a "network guy" btw.

Ah, the "splash-screen mess in chars" somehow survived and it's still there.

* modemiconset - I don't know if that really matters, but while playing with it I found that if the script is called without arguments, it spits out "[: too many arguments" error.
It's because my number in /etc/wvdial.conf is *99# - wrapping all "$FIRSTDIGIT" vars in double quotes has fixed that "problem".

Greetings!

I put in isolinux.bin from lupu 5.2.5. I don't have later atm, but I could use the one from my Slackware install, it is likely much later. The one I used is attached. It's real gz .

I agree it would be a nice feature if the icons switching to phones for the net tray icon would be nice accross the board. It's a work in progress but likely not to make final.

Hi Mick,

Playing with your latest PAE version, works great on my hardware.

Thanks,
Jim

[01micko]

Thanks Jim.

Here is isolinux.bin from my slackware install.

Hi Mick,

I tried the non pae on my Dell D430,

I installed three different wine and in all of them I had one program theWord that would not minimize it would just reopen right away and the other program BibleAnalyzer would minimize and could not reopen it at all.

SFR, yes it is weird.. in my woof tree is the new one, but the old one did get used! I'll check the build script, maybe it is stored elsewhere after initial run of woof.

--- haha... look at this

[Jim1911]

Hi Mick,

I'm not having the problem with the PAE version using Wine along with BibleAnalyzer and eSword that oldyeller reported using the non-PAE version. However, theWord does have the problem. Also, Bibletime is working fine.

Cheers,
Jim

[01micko]

Jim and oldyeller.

It is possible that it's a JWM issue. scsijon reckons that 692 (that is used in this version) is unstable.

You can try 691 attached.
