Mick has gone to bed....you just need to navigate to the 5.3.2.4 directory...the 5.3.2.4 iso is working great here.

Thanks, downloading now. Not sure why there's a 5.3.2.40 ISO as well, went for the one with 5.3.2.4 in.

Yes I saw that 40 too so I took him both but only tested the .4
and it works well. Could the 40 be the PAE thing. For very modern computers with 4GB RAM and such?

Mick,
what's the trick with 5.3.2.3 and flash? Just falls back to gecko media player? Gnash? Other?
I ask because on the XO-1 is almost in par with the original flash (eg non-watchable..) but on the XO-1.5 is visibly worse than flash
Back on the flash-9 time, similar(?) hacks on the XO-1 where considerably better than flash.

Thanks guys, link to rc2 in main post is fixed.

mavrothal: It is pure html5, I didn't do anything. Maybe try chromium browser? On fastish machines it is better on resources than flash, my lappy in particular would get very hot with a 3 minute flash video. I notice though that chromium doesn't do the fullscreen. Seamonkey (and I presume a late model firefox) does close to fullscreen if you hit f11.

Html 5 is still in it's infancy. That said, I haven't updated some of the libs since October last year, and ffmpeg, nor do I intend to for now. Bear in mind I compile Seamonkey against those libs and mesa. Did you use mesa?

As html5 matures I'm sure it will become more efficient.

I may as well attach my Seamonkey build script.

For all the wobblers out there (re compiz)....

Confirmed working with nouveau driver. Of course mesa must be installed, see slickpet or PPM.

You are warned that it is blacklisted, it seems safe to ignore the warning if you get a decent glxgears result [ >= 1500 f/5s (arbitrary number)] and nouveau works fine for you.

Remember.. install the compiz_helper-002.pet available in PPM first.Then select compiz from the slickpet sfs tab, get's loaded with sfs_load, then drop to a prompt and type "xwin dummy".. [dummy is for dummy WM!].

Happy wobbling wobblers!

Hi 01micko,

5.3.2.4 tested with frugal upgrades to both HD and then Flash Stick for about 4 hours in total. Tests were problem free.

My regards

Hi Mick,

Frugal installation of PAE version on ext4 partition with 4fs save created with shinobar's pupsaveconfig. Used your nouveau_unload and successfully installed the latest NVIDIA driver. Everything tested is working great.

Cheers,
Jim

Have been running 5.3.2.3 all day without problems.
Just noticed I'm out of date now

Sorry to brag about how dense I am
Are we suppose to use .4 or .40 and what is the difference between them?

Nooby. Check the first page about the information you asked.

Sun 19 Feb 2012 Operating System:Slacko Puppy-5.3.2.40 Linux 3.1.10-slacko_pae

40 is the pae kernel

Yet another fresh manual frugal install of 5.3.2.4 on the Athlon XP box. No problems.
Installed an Opera sfs and the Nvidia driver ... all looking good.

Though this was done using Microsoft, I just found out that PAE ourtuns non-PAE in MS VMs while reading and writing several testcase files of varying sizes.. Also, the "Hardinfo -r" (from a terminal window) also offers reports which validate my findings. This is on VM clients that are configured with 1GB RAM and Single-core processors.This compares to what was found when the community began discovery of PAE last spring-summer.

IFF SLACKO is for 2006+ PCs (everything I have tested thus far runs on PAE versions done by JamesBond, Pemasu, Smokey01, PupyLuver, BarryK, and 01Micko) then we may want to "standardize" on a single version for future development as it pertains to 2006+ PCs. This would have the benefit of freeing 01MIcko up slightly to focus of many of the behind the scenes things he does for all of us.

The performance in this SLACKO continues to be outstanding on all of my PC tests with PCs ranging from 1GB to 6GB on P4s, I7s, and X2s. All of these were also tested using his latest SAMBA. These tests were done with using SLACKO-SAMBA file sharing reading and writing to LAN PCs while also having file transfers simultaneously occurring in SLACKO-SeaMonkey.

Thank you for the progress of this contribution to this community.

Barry has posted a bug fix pet for the Rox-Filer focus problem.
Explained at his blog.
The updated pet is in a comment to the main blog post.

Took me a while to work this out . . .

Do I need the PAE version?

normal slacko-5.3.2.4 - most users
PAE slacko-5.3.2.40 - those with 2006+ PCs or 4G or more of RAM

19 Feb 2012 RC2 includes the Seamonkey PNG security fix
have added temp link info for our intrepid Release Candidate testers

Boy, Seamonkey must have a very poor html5 implementation.
With, Google-Chrome the XO-1 is quite comfortable and the XO-1.5 almost perfect...

Hi Mick,
slacko (5.3.2.3-SCSI
CD-Live => pupsave (ext3)
Used nouveau=> unload it and successfully installed the latest NVIDIA driver : glxgears is good.

For the first time retrovol (its volume-slider) , Gplayer, Pmusic are good (about pmusic : its volume-slider is now good, not its balance-slider.).
ImpScreen is right.
The link of Pupsnpap 1.6.2 is broken. (PPM)

My computer running smoothly.
Everything tested is working well but it's only a quick test.
Today the snow is too good to let vierge. Un short tour of snowshoes is a must
The Slacko-tests for tonight.

Thanks for your job

All good...
