Re: Missing Serpent and Twofish kernel modules + TrueCrypt.

The resulting performance boost is really substantial!
sorry to post here, but a quick yes or no should be ok... Can this stuff be compiled for older kernels? What's the requirements?

Well, I suppose so.
Taking as an example k2.6.25.16 it seems to have the same stuff in dotconfig:
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_XTS is not set
...
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_SERPENT is not set
...
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_TWOFISH is not set
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_TWOFISH_586 is not set
Tried to give it a test shot (in Slacko), but got some error immediately:
# make clean
Makefile:1523: *** mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop.

...perhaps older kernels ought to be compiled with older devx..?

Another question is if there's also appropriate lvm2 package:

Anyway, won't hurt to try, will it? :wink:

Cannot write on NTFS (windows partition)

I can confirm the problem in Slacko 5402 when copying to an NTFS-formatted /mnt/home. And I can confirm that putting the old ntfs-3g 2010.1.16 in the init fixes it.

And how do you do ?

audacious added to my fat Slacko 5.5

audacious added to my fat Slacko 5.5 (483.9 MB (483,876,864 bytes))
Why to use older Versions of Slacko than 6.3.0 ? Less bugs ! and ISO are Slim, Much Slimmer ! 2016, Puppy developers provide libs which will be never used for our computers.. and by thesmselves, not even tested (3D has one application : Bino)
I am running Fatslacko 5.3.3 now, in france we prefer old wines. Puppies are likes wines, the older, the better... a good Puppy needs time, a lot of time. amended by users by progressive improvments. If no user, bad Puppy ! :twisted: Fatslacko 5.3.3 trashed immediatly, it's a Slacko for people working at home, typing letters, making accounts, and slideshows for employees. I retired from working three years ago, then I began playing puppy. I keep my fatSlacko 5.5, fat for my amusement, not for the boss productivity !
