When i was young, i bought CDs DVDs with main LINUX OS, big or tiny.. When i launched PUPPY, i said 'That is the one'..
I don't know what Slitaz could be useful to Puppy..
Of course i tried Tazpup, and it improves a lot Slitaz.. Pupsave as the main effect.. But all your efforts will now be to get Tazpup as efficient as a true Puppy. But not better, that is impossible. The weak point of Puppy is PPM and dependancies. Slitaz won't help in this matter.
PS / Slitaz is Light because barebone. Just make featured as a Puppy, and Slitaz is bigger than Puppy.. That was said somewhere..
Now, i know that devs don't know what to develop, and they are frightened by new technologies. But here is the way.

Perhaps this info may be in the thread already but I could not find it -

How to turn off tap to click:

- Open a Sakura terminal (applications, utility, Sakura)
- Type the following command:
synclient
- The contents of the synclient config file will be displayed.
- Type the following command:
synclient TapButton1=0

For further info re how to make this change automatically during boot up see this thread:
http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/synaptics-disable-tapmouse-click

Personally I would prefer to learn how to do it the same way I do in puppy: eg: locate the config file, open it in text editor, change the required field and save file, restart flsynclient. But how in slitaz? (flsynclient does not exist)

Odd error here running alpha 10, running Save-Manager / Puppy Event Manager > Save Session, to change the Save Interval to 0,+0, -0 to ask for save at shutdown. When I click 'OK' or 'Enter' key to confirm change, it changes the Save Interval to '5', so it is not possible to set save at shutdown via application.

I believe I have changed it to +0 in some earlier versions, I hadn't attempted to change from default in the last few versions.

At approximately 18 :30 following doing a new frugal install of alpha 10 I updated the system using tazpkg, the timestamp in /var/log/slitaz/tazpkg.log is more than 1 day in advance of the actual time of the update shown below. The system date and time is set correctly. I am using a save folder carried over from last 3 alphas.

I built Synergy_core-1.7.5 in TazPup. It should work but it's too late for me to test it tonight. It depends on Avachi and libdaemon. It was built using the slackbuild scripts. Here are the files:

libdaemon-0.14-i486.pet
libdaemon-0.14-i486.tazpkg

avahi-0.6.31-i486.pet
avahi-0.6.31-i486.tazpkg

synergy_core-1.7.5-i486.pet
synergy_core-1.7.5-i486.tazpkg

I compiled this in TazPupAlpha9, In addition to downloading the required dev packages I created a bunch of wrapper scripts. I don't know if I needed to do this or not.

One thing that stumped me for a bit was that I had to download some packages for the kernal headers, to avoid the error, "c pre processor not sane".

The installed packages on my system when I compiled synergy can be found at:
https://pastebin.com/ADUDGHRb
they are sorted by date. The ones dated "2018-06-03", should be the most relevant to look at to see what one might want on their system to compile synergy. Obviously, not all of these packages are necessary. Some I installed, just because.

Note that one may or may not need to do the following:

TIP: TazPup allows installing pet packages by package conversion. Just double click the pet package and the package be will converted to tazpkg format. It also works on other linux distro packages.
