I did see that behaviour on my laptop which is a centrino 1.7GHz, 512 RAM, radeon mobility graphics in alpha 4 or 5 (with 3.2 kernel) but this kernel has been ok for me. It seems like a timing issue with rox-desktop failing to start. I'll look into it.
Thanks for report

For a bit of daft, I decided to give 5.3.2.1 a shot on the K6-2 500 machine, booting from the CD. Perhaps unsurprisingly it failed to boot, with the following message:-

I'm happily running the Netgear WN111 v2 in Slacko 5.31 right now on a Satellite A15 laptop.

Slacko won't work at all with the Tenda W311U (based on the RT2870). In Lucid, the RT2870sta module works just fine with that stick, but to this point it has been a complete no-go with Slacko. Trying to load the Windows driver (2870.inf) with the NDIS wrapper causes 5.3.1 to crash completely.

I'm just now discovering this thread, so I'll have to download the new beta, give it a whirl, and see if that one has any better luck with the W311U.

I made a pet of Namoroka 3.6.26, it was just released on Feb 1 2012.
I find it works well in this slacko beta, it's approx 11mb in size.

Mick, I am a bit stuck. Which file do I need to edit to include an extra tray in JWM. /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc seems to be ignored now.

Have a look in /usr/bin and you'll see a bunch of files "jwm_*" (eg jwm_menu_create, etc). These are the tools technosaurus built and a much faster than the old ones.

Probably best to post in techno's thread in the additional software>>desktop forum as I am still learning how to get the best out of the tools myself.

For consistency, change the following files to execute urxvt rather than rxvt:
/usr/share/applications/Urxvt-terminal-emulator.desktop
/usr/bin/xterm
/usr/local/PupControl/defaultapps/console

After making some effort to setup "urxvt" to look the way I want it, I would like it to always be used, instead of getting "rxvt" when not using the "console" icon on the desktop.

5.3.3-BETA

Graphics and text now... 100%.... Nice job mic!

Everything working just fine with 'eth0' hookup, shortly will try (again) to get the wireless going... frisbee so far hasen't done it in past versions, in fact not in 'any' Puppy version? Just for info-purposes, tried another recent small distro that used 'Wicd Network Manager' and had wireless hooked up in about 3-minutes... hmmmm? Might be worth looking into.

Anyway, here's 5.3.3 using iguleder's WBAR setup.

Some more testing.....

Seems to be a problem with the PPM 'UMPlayer' (both versions there)

The Stand Alone Version: When activated appears on the screen as it should - When you type a selection in the Youtube Address Bar, the second window opens displaying the files (as it should) but... the 'Thumbnail Graphics' do NOT appear. When you click on a file, the audio works but the video does not!

The Regular Plain sfs Version: When activacted appears on the screen as it should - When you type a selection in the Youtube Address Bar, the second window opens displaying the files (as it should) WITH the Thumbnail Graphics.' When you select a thumbnail file, the video works in the main window (as it should) but... there ISN'T any AUDIO!

Hope I got that right!

Not sure if these have been addressed in the plan as we progress, but i have 2 issues:

For some reason, a text (*.txt) file created by Microsoft does NOT open or opens inproperly (different files) in SLACKO beta. This seems to be related to fonts. BUT, I can open it properly with Abiword.
I have tried to copy one of my music CDs to SLACKO filesystem using PMusic tool (Menu>Multimedia>Pmusic...) . In doing the RIP process setup, I change the sample rate from 192000 to 128000. I end with a Ripped folder of tunes at a "48" sample rate instead of the expected 128. BUT, they do play even though the rate is a poor one.

Hope this helps
