backi. Good news. I thought about asking you to check the md5sum....since your drivers should have been troubleless.
I am relieved....anyway....I found one realtek driver more r8169.ko which also needs firmware. Somehow I forgot to add it. I will create new release which have it and I also fix those 2 bugs which Shinobar pointed out with firstrun package.

Running OK |
|
5X327 working fine as a Live Meda OS.
Although this is not a problem, I am curious why the OS RAM needs reduce when SLACKO Pristine is boot from multi-session Live media, then SAMBA subsystem installed, then the session saved onto the Live media at system reboot. When PC is rebooted, SAMBA is running, RAM usage is less than it was before shutdown ???
This has "in no way" impacted system operations.
But, I'm just curious for an explanation. (Reported here with reports)

3.2.7 Kernel |
|
Last few days I've been doing some rather extensive testing with Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.2.7 with 3.2.7 kernel.
Everything is working just 'Great' and I've encountered but one single problem with a previous installed slideshow program however that was quickly fixed with a simple re-install!
Now... pemasu... you worked with me before on a different thread on my wifi... I never did get it going with any other puppy version including previous versions of Exprimo and 'I want to thank you for all the time spent there'... however... to put some icying on your cake... I am posting this message from Exprimo with the 3.2.7 kernel and yes... 'I'm running on WiFi!!!'
Just want to thank you for having the guts to go for the newer kernel when it seems all others are kind of holding back for one thing or another. There isn't any question in my mind that the newer kernel is in fact the reason I am now on wireless network! Oh... besides... it seems everything else a bit better and faster too! 'Keep after it!'

sszindian. That was good news. Could you check what driver module you are using with your wireless. I would like to know if my firmware update was also useful.
Check with Barrys simple network setup ie SNS the loaded module name in the first panel. It is announced there.

Mr pemasu has succeeded with loading the dreaded b43
in this Dell Studio XPS 1340
Nothing to do, Frisbee just picked it up when I clicked the connect button.
Impressive.
And many thanks.....Chris.

Pupzo posted about bug with heavy encryption in dpup exprimo 5.X.13.6 thread. The same bug applies with 5.X.3.2.8 build.
Losetup binary does not do its work. I have included in attached fix pet the working version from Racy.
If you want to create heavy encrypted savefile....for example for usb stick usage and you are afraid that the stick with your important stuff will be stolen....
Install this pet....use ext2 as savefile filesystem and in next boot the password - aes - handling works and you can mount the savefile.
This fix migth be needed for light encryption also....but that is unsafe anyway....lol...
cthisbear. That is also good news...it looks like that the wireless drivers....firmware updates really do its job.
It gives confirmation that kernel updates are sometimes useful.

Module request |

pemasu:
(Module you requested for my wifi setup)
Hmmm... BK's Simple Network doesn't seem to want to come up anywhere? Frisbee takes over!!! anyway, I'm certain the module is rt2800usb as I well remember that from all other 'try's' previously with the SNS.
