Hardinfo program.

The Hardinfo in Slacko 5.6 seems to be missing something.
Below is output of Hardinfo in Slacko 5.6 compared to output in Lucid 528.

Notice the difference in info for USB devices.

01micko,

Something you may want to look at.
Slacko 5.6 and Precise 5.7.1 missing kernel modules

Hello Everyone,

slacko-5.6 non-pae

Has anyone have any issues with their partitions show out of order for the numbering?

sdb10 and sdb11 are next to sdb1. How do I fix this?

Cheers

There's nothing to fix. "sdb2" DOES come after "sdb10" in the standard lexicographic sorting order.

"2" and "10" in this context are NOT numbers, they are character strings that happen to consist of digits, which is not the same thing.

In the installing the Peazip by PPM is missing libgmp.so.3 library.

We can fix it by going to /usr/lib, open a terminal here and write.

ln -s /usr/lib/libgmp.so.10.0.5 libgmp.so.3

Making this symbolic link works.

See you.

FIrst off, Slacko 5.6 has become my favorite Puppy very fast! Everything works, and there's no hacks involved! (Someone did the hacking for us and made a nice system, thanks!)

One thing in using Wine 1.5 off the Slacko ibiblio repo. Everything's listed in the menu for Wine from what I see except browsing the C:/ drive, which could drive a new user a little crazy. (I know where it is and found it, so don't worry for me, but including that menu item in the packaging would be a great help.

I hope that with Barry switching Woof to maintenance this doesn't mean the end of Slacko, It may be what takes Puppy to the next level, IMO. It's neat, tidy, and has what Puppy users are looking for, as well as general computer users.

It's pretty much "prime time".

The biggest enhancement in this version is full support of the f2fs filesystem.
Yes,sure, we are very happy. Wireless connection is difficult.
That's is a loose.

Just dowloaded Slacko 5.6. I can't install anything as the Install button does nothing. When I run /usr/local/petget/pkg_chooser.sh I see that the script creates index.html in /usr/local/petget/ and immediately deletes it. What's up?

When I select menu Setup > Sfs manager dowload and install sfs files: "You must install Puppy before using this tool". Hmm... leaves me scratching my head.

I normally run my browser as spot. In Slacko, the browser opens normally, but there is a long delay before opening the first web page, during which I get in the console the following messages:
