...strange things happening on the board, today!

When I open the terminal in Slacko, I see these 3 lines:

Any idea, how to get rid of them?

Back again from yet another different box. Slacko Beta1 live pfix=ram.Everything working as expected on initial boot.

hi all

pwidgets link in ppm not working for pwidgets

just a couple of other pets I have been using and seem to work OK with slacko

Firefox-6.0-lucid525.pet (automatically updates as well)

and for the tin foil hat brigade (me included )

TOR-Browser-1.1.13-Lucid52.pet
FolderEnc-1.0.pet

hope this helps

As I read it, the doubt surrounded whether the K6- II & III were i486 or i586. There really isn't any doubt that it is not an i686. Maybe the rare K6-III s behaved more like i586, but the K6-II was a longer series spanning more fsb s, so might return either 4 or 5-86.

remasterpup2 doesn't work. I have fixed it. Tested in Slacko but should work in Wary as well.
AMD K6-3D is i586.

Thank you rodin.s

Any way you can think of to integrate your Russian keyboard fix to xorgwizard/countrywizard?

And yes, I have always understood that K6 is i586.

Some things in Slacko are compiled i686 to take advantage of the new features, ffmpeg is the main one.

hi all

cant get my laptop to boot slacko, I get as far as testing the driver clicking on ok and the machine freezes with a black screen, have tried probe as well as vesa (which works in the lucid pups) but still get the same problem.

how would I find which graphics the machine is using so that I could try and get the right driver

cheers
