X-Slacko Slim 4.4r49 (unique, stable, and flexible)
Usual procedure: boot CD, select no save file ...run... shutdown, do you want to save file/w.h.y. - SAVE - NO.
Not your fault, this nonsense is and has been in most live CDs for years, possibly decades.
It's a bit like the full quicksetup which defaults to LA/Oz/USA simply because only a couple of developers have been sharp enough to make everything self-consistent.
Frankly, IMO everything should default to PERTH (or Queensland?!) which is where its origin lies - just due deference and good manners. In the scientific world attribution is everything, plagiarism has no place (not accusing that here, though).

That is a gentleman choice. default settings Australia
"Frankly, IMO everything should default to PERTH (or Queensland?!) " i fully agree on that. That is a gentleman choice, Sage !
r41 updated to r42 on the core 2 duo laptop (4.10.2 inbuilt kernel) and on the Pentium M laptop (4.4.52 LxPupSc kernel swapped in). Both are Grub4Dos frugal installs to SSD and CF card respectively and are booting, running. connecting, suspending and saving to savefile correctly. glxgears is right in line with that expected on both laptops.
Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.

r42 install updated to r43 on the frugal Grub4Dos install to SSD on my core 2 duo laptop. Continuing to use the stock 4.10.2 kernel on the core 2 duo. No issues at all noted. I haven't gotten to the Pentium M yet. Could you expand a bit on the changes to initrd? Might make it easier to test.
Thanks,

well @rg66 (the original creator of x-slacko) can answer your questions about thunar.augras wrote:Hi mistfire,
i just install your puppy, thanks for your work, and note that you use thunar with these networks capabilities.
I'm trying for a long time to get thunar with network capabilities to work but never win !
Can you explain me all i need to get it works ?
Thanks,

Thanks,
* Easier pupsave management and upgrade (dialog command is implemented)
* Bugs for humongous initrd is fixed.
* A bug where pupsave 2fs/3fs/4fs file was still mounted (that supposed to be unmounted) if the user declines to upgrade is fixed.

Touchscreen calibrator ???
Touchscreen calibrator ??? any tester for that ? does that mean you can use X-Slacko with tablet ?
@Pelo you can use touchscreen or tablet peripheral in X-Slacko Slim however its just an experimental. It does not guaranteed that it will work because I have no computer with a touchscreen. I noticed that the lxpup 4.10.2 kernel has touchscreen drivers. So I decided to add xorg driver for touchscreen and a touchscreen calibrator. But It does not affect the size of the puppy.
Think about people where wireless is hard to join,
about people satisfaction our devs of course are working linked in their workshop. Think about people where wireless is hard to join, they bought a dongle for which a driver is needed and compiled for Puppy Linux (wlan1). That is much more important than PAE (useless IMO), bluetooh, and touchscree,.
My X-Slacko Slim running now is it the kernel 3.14.56. Wlan1 is inop. Wlan 0 is active just for a while. Simply use 3.14.55 I/O 3.14.56 would change my wworld, because driver is made available for Realtek 8192CU by rcrsn 51 in Puppy forum.
Thousands of people are concerned. I am sad that devs make life better to already rich people, but don't have in mind laptop owners. All the new kernels really don't bring anything for most of us.
One of reasons of great success for Puppy was to get old computers with XP continue their life, fast and easy With Puppy. Would Puppy nowadays changes its mind to deal only with bluetooth, wide screens and Tv , becoming unserviceable for its first 'customers' ? And unserviceable for Puppy makers themselves unless they buy new hardware ?

Slim pup
Mistfire,
Please continue your effort for slim x slacko. To be honest this puppy is the closest to puppy from earlier times. And small in size.
From your releases i understand you are not trying to create a new puppy, but are sharing whatever you are building for your personal needs. And that is great.
In fact it is one of the most vivid and inspiring developments on the forum.
Just look at the popularity of Barrys Easy linux. Hardly any activity. That was completely different in the Wary and Racy times.
Succes mistfire....keepp the good work.
