Slacko 6.3.2 Dpup Stretch conflict
wasnt sure whether to post issue here or just point you to my thread
so decided to add link
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=118922
it covers some issues incounted and a potential fix (at least for DPup).
issues such as
vmalloc, kthread, nosemaphore
and to get DPup stretch working screws up Slacko 6.3.2 (after having no issues with Slacko 6.3.2
a sort of frugal install
files in folder are:
- help folder
- vesamenu.c32
- vmlinuz
- initrd.gz
- puppy_slacko_6.3.2.sfs
- zdrv_slacko_6.3.2.sfs
incase its important Grub from 2.14R or 2.14X was used in MBR mode on EXT3

Slacko 700 rc3
Just playing around with an old OS. I noticed you have no options when in preferences-advanced-data choices..... usually you can check boxes to prevent firefox from collecting data. Not so on this OS. Does anyone know why? Anyways, my guess is that firefox does collects data even when you tell them not to collect your data? Any thoughts? Thank you.
What specific version of Firefox?
If you are talking about the Firefox ESR version.
Being an ESR version.
They already have all the info they need.
ESR versions are suppose to be well tested and stable.
Plus most people using ESR versions are businesses and major companies.

Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) is an official version of Firefox developed for large organizations like universities and businesses that need to set up and maintain Firefox on a large scale. Firefox ESR does not come with the latest features but it has the latest security and stability fixes
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

I am using slacko64-6.9.9.10_r8085.It works really well.
I monitor it with htop and it is very gentle on the limited resources of this 12 year old laptop.
Thank you Sailor. Thank you 01micko.
In your mediafire map is devx_slacko_6.9.9.9.sfs
It is 10 days older than the iso.
Is it the right devx for 6.9.9.10?
new2dir installs immediately
I have been compiling.
I have found that new2dir creates the directory to make a .pet,
but it installs on the system as well.
That is not nice. PPM does not know about it.

Yes, 'new2dir' has always done that.foxpup wrote:I have been compiling.

You can take a backup of your savefolder before running 'new2dir'.
Then after running 'dir2pet', make sure the ".pet" is not in the savefolder and restore the savefolder to pre-new2dir.
The idea is to be in a situation where you can discard the savefolder that is in place at the time of running 'new2dir'.

Re: new2dir installs immediately
Sure about that? There are no versions that do not install?gyro wrote:Yes, 'new2dir' has always done that.
Anyway, I now compile starting up without savefile.
If all went well, I install with the .pet in my startup with with savefile.

Hi foxpup,
In my experience, running new2dir make install will always do 2 things, create the new dir (from which you can make the .pet) and also install into system. This is because you are running make install. Not sure if it is possible to run new2dir on its own as I have never tried.
Normally I compile in a clean, fresh pfix=ram boot as you are now doing, since other installed libs can change what gets linked against. Packages for distribution should be compatible with the original .iso although occasionally I will create a savefile of a modified build environment and retain it for building future versions of some specific package.
One thing you can do if you want to retain the new dir, but remove all the installed files of that package from system is run make uninstall in the source directory.

Thank you for the good advice, dear pupplers (what is the word? like slackers).

This Slacko is very nice, I highly recommend it.
