X-Slacko-4.4 with Xfce
Hi rg!
Saw that you did even more xfce-plugins yesterday (uploaded to your smokey01 pages). Gracias!! Also wanted to tell you, and I don't know how and/or why this has always been the case, but how in heck is frugal bootup so doggone quick with your x-slacko spins? I timed it, then tried a wide swath of all my other frugal pups & ddogs (~25 of 'em) I maintain & keep up, and it wasn't even close. Seriously, IT wasn't even close! With X-Slacko, it's freaking 19 secs from dead-cold off machine-turn on to staring at the fully loaded xfce desktop. Dam#! The closest competitor(s) are old slacko 5.7, precise 5.7 & racy spins, at ~35-40 secs. But all the other newer pups over the past few years? Sheeez..... My AMD Athlon II X2 2.80GHz, 8GB ram machines (and one i3 laptop 7 years old now) struggle anywhere from ~50 secs to 100+ secs with them all. Just amazing to me. And best of all is using Slimjet as my default browser in X-Slacko, along with using Stemsee/Mike's "--silent-launch" hint feature in Startup, it is like "BAMMM" in your face with the whole setup, lol. I am literally cruising the net in 20 secs from a dead cold start with X-Slacko. This s#cker rocks! Can't believe more people on murga here, who I know must still be using X-Slacko, aren't posting saying "thank you" for updating to this latest spin. It's just us old dinosaurs (marv, mike and me).........the last of the herbivores

Just did a clean frugal install of 4.3 on my NAS box as part of testing a new Yassm version. The old savefile had enough patches in it from days of yore so I lost track of what was what and just started over. No data on it anyway, it's just look'n'fee so the setup is pretty fast. At any rate, no problems of any sort on the wired BayTrail desktop running samba and supporting a couple of elderly all-in-one printer/scanners.

Simple scan
Hi to all,
Simple scan in PPM only downloads the sensor files
and has no Menu entry.
Entering whereis simple-scan to Terminal yields no output.
Is there available a full frontend gui for this program.

Hi rg66,
Thanks for 4.4! Had a question about the md5 sum for it. Maybe this pic from smokey's site shows it best:

Updated the 4.3 frugal Grub4Dos install in my Fujitsu S761 i5 based laptop using the 4.3 to 4.4 delta. Delta md5sum correct, nice normal boot, sound, video, wifi, all good. I do use the 4.1.31 kernel across the board on the X-Slackos as my Bay Trails need that for USB support. Since my Pentium M fleet retired I'm non-PAE/PAE/32b/64b agnostic, at least so far as hardware is concerned. Running Slimjet Version 15.1.2.0 from SFS and PWF 4.1 as usual.
Thanks,

Those are missing on slacko-6.3.2 as well as tahr, precise and carolina. They are present on slacko-6.9.9.9 and for once, the xfce keyboard panel plugin works.mistfire wrote:@rg66 I noticed that the files in /lib/keymaps in X-Slacko 4.4 and base.xml together with xorg.xml in /etc/X11/xkb/rules is missing. Luckily I fixed that on my pup
