Hi Mick and other contributors,
I see that the 3.10.5 kernel in the PAE version has a number of new drivers, including the rtl818ee wifi driver, which is needed by forum member dbabits' Toshiba Satellite laptop -
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 934#736934
but I needed to help him out by contributing the missing firmware.
This is a common problem - new/updated drivers often require additional firmware, so maybe in the future I can help you access the very latest collection of official firmware ...
but in the meantime, the same forum member also requires the new alx driver for his Atheros ethernet device.
But I see this in the Slacko-5.6-PAE kernel config -
Can I ask that this new driver be enabled for the next release of 5.6-PAE?
And if the next release is some time away, could someone please just package this new module as a dotpet in the meantime?
Thanks.

Slacko 5.6.1
Do you want it all tested for bugs or just want to know if it generally works OK?
Well I am looking at the Internet and posting from it. I can see a working desktop. Icons seem to work OK.
Got this strange message.

Slacko 5.6.1 testing
Hi Mick
Downloaded the 5.6.1 iso, devx and kernel sources - boy it took a lonnnnnngggg time from your website (at 8am UK time) .... so much so I had to leave my pc running while I went to work today.
Did all my usual tests - compiled wl.ko and installed the Broadcom STA driver for my wifi - installed the LxPup-by-SFS and Compiz sfs's and switched to Compiz - loaded Chromium-30 sfs
All working great and as expected - no problems at all to report - posting from Compiz / Chromium as we "speak"
Cheers

5.6.1 report
I mentioned (elsewhere) about drive icons not getting refreshed after partitioning (in 5.6). Much better in 5.6.1 - after creating a new partition, icons are being refreshed, but after deletion it's necessary to remount another partition, in order to trigger this. Can live with that.
___________
Old, but recently discovered by me, annoying bug in /bin/df, line 8 (missing quotes around $@):
___________
Perhaps it's too early for that, but there are few, less obvious apps, that are worth upgrading IMHO:
- unrar - supports the latest rar5 format
- ms-sys - supports Vista/7 MBR
- exploderpm (part of src2pkg) - supports newer RPMs
___________
Maybe too early as well, but I keep forgetting about this since 5.4, so let it be written for future reference.
Minor enhancement. Since Xarchive supports 7z archives (7za wrapper) and Slacko has 7z, so what about:
/usr/local/bin/pupzip, line 147/8:
(or maybe shorter & safer)
+ let 7za wrapper to see 7z:
+ MIME-type for ROX:
+ optionally:

Anyway, 5.6.1 looks really solid (playing in VBox for now).
Thanks &

Not a bug bigpup, you are running firefox as Spot. It will only be able to open /root/spot (spots home) and any sub-directory. If you don't wan to be spot, quit firefox, open menu>system>Login and Security Manager, uncheck firefox and click Ok.

01micko,
I was wondering if Spot was the problem, but was not sure.
Now you know why I never use spot.
Test results:
Spot operation mode seems to be working in Firefox
Computer just gave me the coffee warning.
