Slacko 5.5 Final
Slacko 5.4.1 RC
I booted the live dvd and did a frugal install to the hard drive with
the universal installer.

The first thing that I did after installing the proprietary nvidia
driver was to open ppm and install kdegames which worked fine.
Earlier today in my other 5405 install I had opened ppm and updated
it,do you think updating ppm may have caused the problems with installing
kdegames on that install?
That's it so far, more to install but it's working well so far.

EDIT: However, the way you did it is better. Here's why.
Slackware does not support dependency resolution. When one installs Slackware TM, they are encouraged to install all packages on the DVD, about 2 GB compressed. That's it. That is the entirity (new word) of Slackware. There are NO other officially supported packages. No extra repos. KISS. This is pretty much how windows operates when you think about it. Except that on a clean windows install that costs over $100 you get a crap browser and a crap file manager and thats about it. With Slackware you get the works, web server, mail server, networking, media players, several DE/Wms, all sorts of compilers and all the latest at release time. All for free and all FOSS. Ok, nuff said.
Then comes Salix, which have developed an automated dependency tracker, so that's why our databases for PPM come from there. Armed with that info, Salix (and Slacky) manage to produce stable third party packages fully compatible with Slackware.
So.. you get pidgin from the Slackware repo, but, deps are resolved because of the work of Gapan and the Salix crew. Then patches are produced by Pat Volkerding (sw boss) as issues arise, critical bugs, security type issues.are only addressed for the "stable" version of Slackware. Feature updates are usually not updated for stable.
If you directly get pidgin (or any other package) from the "patches" repo, dependencies are not resolved. So, by getting the original, you get all the deps, then later a patched version may come up. Enter my "Updates Manager". It's designed to only show packages that have either been included in the original iso, or downloaded through PPM after installation. (With the exception of Seamonkey and Firefox, both are included as a distro builder may decide to include one, the other or neither).
Never mind that both show in the "uninstall" gui. The only time that may matter is with Firefox or SeaMonkey, and a message pops up to let you know.
Complicated? Yes! But, bear in mind, puppy is a tiny distro, supporting up to 8 major distros with woof, all with varying package management. We do what we can.

Failure to access a LAN resource using 541RC
On a Pristine boot immediately after FirstRUN and Frisbee setup, I tried to mount my NAS and got an error.
Anyone noticed the same.
Hadn't notice this problem in earlier release.
Edit: I used YASSM ..Search and was about to attach the NAS.
Code: Select all
# /mnt/NAS2
# mount -o username=root,password=woofwoof //192.168.1.207/NASunit /mnt/NAS2
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.207/NASunit
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
Hadn't notice this problem in earlier release.

try mount.cifs
or at least mount -t cifs

Already tried -t cifs....but, mount.cifs. yields
(This is remarkably similar to what happened in FATDOG6+ when it 1st came out. @JamesBond/@Kirk addressed it in the release of 610.)
Code: Select all
# mount.cifs -o username=root,password=woofwoof //192.168.1.207/NASunit /mnt/NAS2
Mounting the DFS root for domain not implemented yet
No ip address specified and hostname not found
Ok, neither should the network roxapp. I just tried this:gcmartin wrote:In asn earlier post, it should have read that YASSM has no problem accessing the NAS for me.

Got on... maybe try that.

The mount.cifs command always requires that the options list be at the end.gcmartin wrote:Already tried -t cifs....but, mount.cifs. yields(This is remarkably similar to what happened in FATDOG6+ when it 1st came out. @JamesBond/@Kirk addressed it in the release of 610.)Code: Select all

[Edit] I also tried "mount -t cifs". It worked correctly both with the options list at the front and the back of the command.
See my edit above. The mount command still works correctly for me.
[Edit] I also tried it with just "mount -o ....." and it worked too.
I would try a fresh install, WITHOUT using Frisbee.
