Hi 01micko,

I am really very sorry to fail you, but I have been unable to do a single worthwhile test on 5.2.3.7 and after almost four hours I've given up.

The problems are with my equipment. Despite recent problems with both my ancient internal hard drives I have eventually decided that my current problem is in burning an error free CD-R or DVD+RW (even though the MD5 checks).

From my point of view my/your 5.3.1 DVD boot and USB stick are still working perfectly; it's very fast on my old desktop, ideally stable and a total saviour.

My regards and thanks

I've been using my 4gb flash drive install on several computers, 3
with nvidia graphics and my laptop with ati graphics.
The computers with nvidia graphics just needed to rerun xorgwizard and
choose the nvidia driver and the correct resolution (the proprietary
nvidia driver was installed on pc1), also run the network wizard.
On my laptop it booted straight to the desktop and was using the vesa
driver, I downloaded the amd-driver-installer-12-2-x86.x86_64.run and
installed it.I had to run the network wizard to setup the wireless
connection.
It's working very well, amazing what you can get on a 4 gb flash
drive, 2 gb save file and the rest to store sfs files etc.

shinobar,

the harddisk has 3 partitions: sda1 (ntfs, win XP), sda2 (ntfs, data), sda3 (ext4, lubuntu 11.10). Then I have an SD card slot that registers as a USB drive (sdb1, Slacko).

menu.lst is on sda1. I think that is where grub4dos default puts it (logical choice, since if you remove the SD card, the system can still boot).
The problem is that after I make the selection in the blue screen (so menu.lst is found) I get this error (command line, not a popup).

The problem does not happen when I boot winXP or Lubuntu from the harddrive, so it must have something to do with the card/usb.
The problem is a bit intermittent. Yesterday evening I had 4 or 5 times perfect booting, and the 6'th time I had the problem.

Do you think it may be card related (faster SD card ?), this card is type 6. I may have some "type 10" card laying around, and give that a try later.

Thank you for trying to diagnose this....

Ok, I have tackled the insertion of panel applets, it's quite different to how Jason (plinej) did the original but still uses some of his code.

Seems to work ok in adding and deleting panel icon launchers.

Have fun (and please report success or failure)

I see that 01micko has already made Iron and Chrome 17 packages. By default they Won't Run as Root. Iguleder made a patch. Alternatively it is possible to run them in root by specifying the --user-data-dir as in this command:

Using a 1.5Ghz Centrino Laptop with 1GB RAM.

This distro and the packages installed runs very well on this platform. My steps were as follows to get a full-featured LAN PC
ISO to multi-session CDRW
Installed all the following packages outside of the PPM
SAMBA
JRE
AngryIP
Did a save session with the above 3
Rebooted and installed LibreOffice
Verified all subsystems functioning as expected including shares and share access.
Exercised a Remaster operation to capture all packages into a single ISO
Wiped the CDRW and burned the Remaster single ISO to the CDRW

Rebooted and everything is working harmonyously

I like your new PPM!

However is their any chance of putting the search bar at the top with it's search icon (where all the buttons are now) and having the other buttons at the bottom.
Much more what would be expected...

Added an "Are you sure" Xdialog to the deletion of current launchers in the panel for JWM
