I did a new build using an older woof-CE, I don't think the latest
testing or rationalise have been corrected yet.

That is a fine thing to accomplish, but how is that helping to discover bugs and issues, with Slacko 6.9.9.9, as it is posted here?
This version of Slacko is just about complete and ready for final release.
Now is the time to give this Puppy a good workout and uncover any issues not yet discovered!!!!
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

@Billtoo
thank you for testing.
To test an older version ( unknown which exactly with an other kernel version ) is not helpful
or did I understand this wrong ?
The intel uxa workaround became added at 1st July ( commit 1d091bc ) and disabled at 6th August (commit d28d98d ) ( @jlst you are really quick )
So it would be a good idea to test the current testing branch.
Thank you for help

Jun 30th.
Seems that RC3 could be the final release.
But I should have posted to the woof-CE thread instead of here I guess,
or not posted at all.
I do not think many Puppy developers have much time to work on Puppy.
01micko has a full time job.
Puppy is probably his hobby and works on it, when he can.
He does tend to hold off on a final release, until people have some time to really work with Release candidate versions.
This being RC3 tells me, he is making sure, some fixes he did to RC1 and RC2, got everything needed.
He is a prime developer with Woof-CE.
He could be holding off final release, because of some new improvements, he knows are in the works for Puppy, core files/programs.
Only he can tell us!

I think it could be helpful to let O1micko know (if he doesn't already)
that the kernel has been updated 10 times since RC3 was released.
Most likely lots of security updates etc in those 10 updates, the
updates are done for a reason I would think.
He might decide to compile the latest kernel for the final release.

Re: fltk packages
Yep .. Lots of the smaller (not huge) music-making related packages are old Gtk1 things.. Plus some plugins and stuff..OscarTalks wrote:Could this be packages that are looking for GTK 1 ?sc0ttman wrote:Also, when compiling stuff (usually old stuff) I frequently get a an error about a file called gtk-config is missing?

No problems yet. Haven't done much yet but I'll do some testing over the weekend, hopefully.

INTEL GPU ONLY !
appendix:
because config file for intel graphics ( to change to "uxa" acceleration method ) has been removed,
it could be that your intel GPU get hanging or X-server get freezing in very rare cases ( like here ).
In this case you could install the attached "intel-uxa-accel" package as temporary solution..
It only contains the 20-intel.config file to use the uxa acceleration method.
Don't forget to restart the X-server after package installation.

I did a manual frugal install of your snapshot, slacko-700-RC3_k.4.4.70-PAE_2017-08-09.iso
Installed:conky,easytag,bleachbit,lxtask,lxterminal,Uextract,aisleriot,hplip-3.16.5-i586-3,smplayer,smtube,redshift,peasyscan-2.9 & ALL DEPS for these.
Symlinked these from /mnt/home, that are shared with other pups:
palemoon-27.4.1, firefox-52.3.0_ESR,thunderbird-52.2.1, goldendict
Loaded these sfs's> iron-59.0.3100.0-i386.sfs, audacity-2.1.3-s-i686.sfs & devx_slacko_6.9.9.9.sfs
btw, I made your audacity-2.1.3-s-i686.pet, into an sfs, and it works very well as expected.
I rebooted, made a savefolder, then squashed it into an adrv that is being used atm.
Here is the machine it's on:

James C and festus, thank you very much for feedback.
I only created the the ISO,
the thanks goes to jlst, 01micko, ninaholic, gyro, woodenshoe-wi, zigbert, mavrothal, peebee, 666philb, rserwin ....
Really awesome work !!!
@festus
wow, you already tested a lot of applications, thank you.
Up to now without errors, this sounds very good.
Slacko 700 will become one of the best distro we ever had ( it's my opinion )
waiting for the final version ....
up to now we've had 122 downloads of the ISO
but only 2 feedback's

1)
A right click on a disk partition should show a pfind search of the partition

2) Make a change in /root/.configure/rox.sourceforge/OpenWith/
The pmusic located there should have the command
This would make it easier to make a pmusic play list.

A pkg that would be useful in case one hooked up an external monitor to a laptop is lxrandr.
I installed lxrandr-0.3.1-i486-1.pet from ppm. For some reason after the install, the entry didn't show up in the menu, so I reworked the pet's icon in the .desktop file and that did the trick, and works well.

To run applications as spot I edit the hidden .spot-status file in the
root directory and then run QuickSetup first-run settings in the setup menu.
.spot-status
firefox=true
seamonkey=true
mplayer=true
kodi=true
vlc=true
All entries =false before running QuickSetup first-run settings.
Maybe you're talking about something else.
