Thanks for replying James C. How did you get that display? And what does it mean? I see from the PPM that Tahr64 already has f2fs-tools installed by default. In fact there are two packages, f2f2-tools 1.20 and a 1.4 Tahr64 special version. But your reply seems to indicate that f2fs support is incom...

Since the hard drive on my Thinkpad T400 blew up, I have been running from a USB. I'm going to replace the drive with an SSD sometime. Does Tahr64-605 support F2FS? If so, is it stable and would there be a benefit in frugal installing Tahr to a USB or SSD formatted F2FS? I use save folders. Might h...

James' tests are most interesting. Therefore, I reloaded 6.9.6.3 on the same CD(-RW), with one of the same burners and run it (live) on the same benchtop XP2400. Flawless! Whatever is bent on 32bit 6.9.6.4 has to be serious and almost certainly not related to HW. James: are you using a delta-ed ......

Live test of Slacko 6.9.6.4 (same cd as above post) on on old dual-core.

Purely for testing purposes I just tried the latest 32 bit 6.9.6.4 live on this same hexa-core box. Did boot to a desktop but frozen mouse,no internet,incorrect resolution (1024x768),semi-working keyboard input, etc. so I aborted. Will try later on a bit older box. On the good side, 64 bit version s...

The simple answer is no.
