I found that the older version of notecase (notecase-1.6.9pre7.pet)
works well with saluki and doesn't need any additional software
to be installed. Available at ibilio.

I improved puppy clock so that it works with saluki

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=580140#580140

It has many uses. I use it as an alarm clock and
to put messages on the screen at regular intervals.

It's very small and inobtrusive unlike other alarms.

A realtime kernel is going to be fairly difficult. There's probably only a few people on the forum that could pull it off.

I may decide to work on it after the release unless pemasu takes an interest.

Thank you, shinobar.

I saw the discussion about this in the Slacko beta thread and I think the checkbox idea is the best option.

For laptops where you close the drive manually it doesn't matter so much what the default is and on balance it is probably better to eject the CD, but for desktops I don't like the idea of the drawer being left open. It could easily get broken and dust can more easily get in to the mechanism and I certainly don't feel comfortable about forcing the drawer closed.

When running live CD if I think I want to boot into something else next time I can manually remove the CD before shutdown, or in fact there is time after I press the Power Button to eject a CD and replace it with another one or close the tray empty.

Impressive, works great. Very Happy

I've really enjoyed using the Saluki Custom Builder and have used it to build a version with pemasu's new kernel. The only problem I've noted is that the default program selection update does not work properly. Default media player selection should be xnoise, however /usr/local/bin showed a different media player. Also “gview” shows up as defaultimageviewer and it doesn’t appear to be installed, should be “ristretto”.

Thank you for a super distribution with great additional capability.

I don't watch a lot of video content, most of the time I use my netbook so no DVD drive, but today thought I would have a go and booted up the desktop from my USB.
Good news - booted into Saluki straight away, connected my internet, xorg set up ok.
Tried a music file with Xnoise, again worked first time.
So thought I would try out OGG and look at some video footage. No go I am afraid, either looking at pure AVI files or looking at a virtual DVD with individual VOB files. OGG failed to play either.
Downloaded Gnome which I have used successfully in other puppies and voila played my DVD content folders and AVI straight away.

Saluki 18 was used to test
