Minimal testing but no show stoppers.
Updated 5.5.8 fine too with the exception of the lost screen resolution (also true for slacko6 beta).
May need to look at it since slacko6 can indeed update Slacko 5.7 (or even maybe 5.6!)
Have to run...

Frugal install of Slacko64 5.9.1.

Bug reports before I forget. Flashplayer downloader..... appears to download package then reports unable to download. No Flash downloaded.

Manually copied Flash from Slacko64 5.8.8 ..... not detected by Firefox.

Firewall settings lost on every reboot.Turn firewall on, but on next reboot it's off.

[James C]

Finally used the PPM to install Flash....now working.

Manual frugal install of 5.9.1. Not necessary to use nouveau.noaccel=1 which is usually necessary.

Other than the problems already mentioned things looking good.

Great stuff !!!
The only issue I could track so far is the lack of vobcopy and vamps for copying video-DVD.

Yes I need to build those. I've built vamps before, actually it's the one we still use in the 32 bit version. Shouldn't be too hard.

I was supposed to include guvcview, which depends on v4l2, which has builtin a qt gui.. best explanation I have ..

I am a bit more liberal with inclusions in 64 bit, full samba for a start, plus some other useful things like guvcview (web-cam app), however I will have to filter some stuff, probably at least the menu items.

Barry's approach would be to make a template and screen whatever he could. That's fine, but to take advantage of the upstream repos this breaks dependency. It's a balancing act.

Good work! Definitely going to play with it once woof-CE builds a sane, stable Slacko64 OOTB.

Busy times here, wish I could participate in this development round.

[LateAdopter]

Hello 01micko

5.9.1 seems just like 5.8.8: no problems with the separate kernel.

The shutdown bug that seems to affect Woof-CE puppies is still there:

The first shutdown is OK. Once the savefile is created subsequent shutdowns do not unmount the FAT32 home partition properly.

I also noticed that the firewall wizard does not write anything to rc.local.

Thank you for this.

[01micko]

There is one particularly embarrasing bug, a lazy copy/paste in a woof post install script.

/usr/bin/bash and /usr/bin/grep both point to /bin/sed!!! I was trying to "ldd" something and was getting sed errors!

Might explain some weirdness.. but hey, my excuse is that it's alpha!
