I tried a Slacko64 build with the latest woof-CE when at my parents for Easter on my dad's Core2Duo laptop. Here's the iso:

It seems to be working ok so far on it, I didn't need anything from puppy-common this time either. These comments also apply to it:

I installed to the hard drive of my Acer desktop:

I installed applications with PPM,installed the proprietary Nvidia
driver, and compiled Smplayer/Smtube.

Works great,
Thanks.

Edit: I've done 2 more hard drive installs, pc1 has newer intel graphics, pc2 has ati radeon graphics.

It's working well on both new installs.

@Sailor - thanks for this puplet. I used your 4.4.126 kernel in LXpupsc64 18.03 - faster than 4.15 kernels, but still covered for spectre/meltdown.

@Foxpup - last time I had that happen, missing firmware was the culprit.

Here the 32 bit version of Slacko 700 RC3 snapshot for testing.
Used kernel version K 4.4.70-PAE

BUILD_FROM_WOOF='testing;6d5d2531;2018-04-05 13:45:04 +0300'

Looks really good, didn't find seriously errors up to now except these blemishes

- pkeys=de will be ignored ( I'm using ISOBOOTER )
- empty tables of contents of developer tools remain in packages/builtin_files ( 0 byte files )
- menu entry xcalc present but application not installed

Many thanks for this great Distro

Hello foxpup,

thank you for feedback.

update:
My search for the reason of pkeys issue ends up here
Seems to be a feature now

@peebee

hey peebee you already knew this.
I only read your post at github today, thank you for report.

I patched slacko-700-RC3_k4.4.70-PAE_2018-04-05.iso by the changes of commit d553a8c for test.

Up to now no problems at all.

wdlkmpx you are awesome !

Frisbee in /usr/sbin/ifactive should be changed to all lower case in script ('Frisbee' -> 'frisbee') to work with the frisbee installed in Slacko64. Also, sections on frisbee-tray might be removed, as it's not present or used in this version. If this is part of woofCE, someone should commit the change. If it was just lifted out of lighthouse for this build, just change the script.

Here's the fixed one (still has ref to frisbee-tray):

I've made a 64bit Slacko compatible 4.9.94 kernel via Puppy kernel-kit, with the cutdown firmware option. Is Spectre/Meltdown mitigated. Have swapped it into Slacko64 6.9.9.9 and LxpupSc64 18.03. Works ok in both.
