I am a bit addicted to LxPups... For me these pups feel more familiar with my daytime job (have to use microsoft). But my new HW require me to use UEFI safe boot, and that works with LxPup64 now (hybrid iso).
What are your future plans for LxPup64 ..??
To me it appears that there are other 64 bit pups that have active development. Slacko64 seems to stall.
Are you actively investigating another base under LxPup64, or planning to ice it.
I am asking since many of the bugs found in LxPups relate to the underlying puppy, and by starting testing of your envisioned (new) puppy, I can do something usefull. I can't test them all.....
Appreciate your work !

I have tried to make a version of LxPup on TahrPup64 and have got a basically working system except that I have run into some problems with gvfs.
Basically, pcmanfm/libfm and gvfs + pup-volume-monitor + a patched version of libgio all have to work together to provide what I consider to be lxpup essentials - drives and partitions showing in pcmanfm, trash can working and ftp remote access working.
The way I have made LxPup64 has been to piggy back on the work done in Porteus and this translates most easily to Slacko64.
I also find Slackware systems much easier to work on than Debian systems due to Debian's tendency to break packages down into many smaller dependent packages....
Of the other 64-bit pups, Fatdog64 is significantly different in all respects from standard Woof-CE puppies and Lighthouse64 whilst not quite so different is also in abeyance.
So I think my present stance is that I'm waiting on 01micko to reappear and take Slacko64 forward.
I haven't as yet looked at QuirkyApril64....
Cheers
