Yep, it seems that the problem concerns only .../dev_save
Just created small sda2 NTFS partition and no errors while copying files there...

Greetings!

Frankly, I don't care about the rox ntfs error. You install to ntfs at your peril. I don't do it, it's only a "warning" type error and the real fix is to patch rox. Removing "no_def_opts" shouldn't be a problem though.

I do realise rcrsn51, you use flash drives formatted as ntfs, in that case then I see an issue, but that's not supported in universal installer and hardly any "new user" would know about or do that.

The always enjoyable experience of Adobe Flash.........

No problems on this Athlon XP box with 10.3r183.

EDIT:
Just checked, I'm also using 10.3r183 on the install on the P4 with no problems.

If Only:
Folks would listen to the great advice from mick and James !
Folks would grasp the nettle and finally, once and for all delete everything NTFS, short of nuking Redmond !

Deleting everything NTFS from Puppy would in fact make it unusable as a rescue CD for use on a Windows system.
Of course, one still has to work around the secure boot shit from Microsoft.
And I have used it myself to get rid of a persistent file that was scareware in that it would pop up a window when one tried to run any application saying it was infected and to install their anti-virus software at a cost.
That one took me a while to track down.

The rox "error" is a storm in a tea cup. People are free to do what they choose, including installing to ntfs. Rox is correct in reporting the permissions have changed and probably due to the file signature being changed (speculation) reports that it failed to copy/move. It's a simple rox bug, nothing more. I will not screw with the init or roll back ntfs-3g.

EDIT: looks like rox wont be patched without a lot of work. Rox in this case relies on the output of cp or mv. If no output it's all good, if there is then rox spits the dummy. It's actually a bug in the old ntfs-3g binary that rox didn't spit the dummy.

The only way to suppress the error is to change the init call from

It's working well but installing qt-482 from ppm took a long time.

There is an error in line 214 of /usr/bin/updates_mgr. Variable shouldn't be a parameter to gettext. It works but it's not detected by xgettext. I have changed it like this and have also added gettext to line 216:

Chromium is uploaded.

chromium-24.0.1312.56-i486-s14.pet 43 M (should be at nluug and other mirrors soon)

This I compiled myself in Slackware-14.0 so should be very compatible with slacko. It is the latest in the ~24 line, built with slackbuild.

I built in a unique feature. If you create the file /root/.chromium_dir ($HOME/.chromium_dir, hidden file, note the preceding DOT) with a path to your user-data-dir

Got my girlfriends laptop setup w/Slacko 5.4.1 Beta. It has win7 on it too.
I hope the splash screen clears up when I grub4dos it in a momemt.
Because I also installed ArchPup it's making her beloved win7 harder to find
due to the advanced menu (kind of a grub thing, right?).

I like your Slacko's because they work excellent on this budget laptop.
