o1micko,

Just a quick report - was able to boot into desktop with no issue on this Brookdale chip. Opened some windows, no initial problems. Unsure if you have incorporated the "Brookdale" fix into 5.4 (or 5.3.3 for that matter), but first run seemed ok. I've never had an issue with 5.3.1, and very few with 5.3.3 (and those were mostly flash related crashes). Thanks. Should you need anything specifically, just let me know.

I have the latest build of Slacko in a frugal installation on my hard drive. As usual, Puppy is the most flexible, most efficient Linux I have used --and I have used many, including many Puppies.
A problem, however, has come up: Nothing happens when I try to close Puppy. Neither the reboot option nor the shut down option does anything at all. I have to simply turn the machine off (a Dell Optiplex GX520, by the way).

Chromium 25 in both pet and sfs formats for Slacko 5.4 beta is available from:

Beta 4 works fine on my eeePC 1001ha (atom N270 and intel graphics).
Use frisbee for wireless.Installe "NEU" icons.
Will report more after 1 week of use.

Beta 4, Opera PAE flat-out Zings-Man-Zings! on this old Vaio. Atheros Ath5k grabbed it and will not let go. By far the fastest and finest Puppy for this machine. Everything works - Tor, Bleachbit, peebees new Chromium,(Thanks peebee!). VLC playing anything and everything...Thanks 01micko and all contributors, This is Puppy at its finest, Rock On!

posting from a lenovo t61 using 5.3.7.1-PAE live cd

everything working well so far apart from abiword 'white' page not visible on start, minimize and back to correct

have added chromium 22 (sfs) and wake on lan (pet)

like the addition of premote rdesktop (normally install x11 & tightvnv)

looking really good - thanks

Smile

EDIT:

well, a bit early to post

shortly after original post I was unable to mount one of my drives so tried to restart X but system hang and everything went slow

am now posting from the non-PAE version (I have 4gb installed but had issues with the slacko 5.3.3 PAE also)

premote wouldn't connect using vnc so have installed tightvnc

previous slacko pets seem to be working ok so far

Love the backdrop and really pleased to have Opera.

Thank you 01micko for all that you do to provide a super Puppy for us.

Very best regards - Ray.
