hi mistfire,

xorg-autoconf fails for some reason when booting in vmware. i get a blank screen with flashing cursor. i think that vmware needs Option "AutoAddDevices" "true" and the regular xorg.conf.udev config works.

cheers

bionicpup64 already has a mix of gtk2 & gtk3 apps and in fossapup gtk3 apps maybe outweigh (no pun intended) the gtk2 apps.

rox-filer would probably be the main casualty for us, but lots of small projects may disappear

I lowered it from 96 to 66 but still not enough room. The best workaround is to export all Libre Office documents to PDF first so I can print in Qpdf. Or use Abiword. Not a very big problem.
