Delta downloaded and applied. All md5sums correct. I'm on a Pentium M so I manually swapped in the 4.5.0 kernel from the current LxPupSc before booting with forcepae kernel parameter. Came up all smiles on the Pentium M. Renamed the 4b2 savefile xslackosave from slackosave and running from it now.

As with LxPupSc, the dhcpcd on board from slacko/slackware (6.0.5 in this case, 6.8.2 in LxPupSc) doesn't support dropwait so for the ipw2200 Pentium Ms, SNS which I'm currently using or PWF are better choices for wireless on this class of machine if I may use class and Pentium M in the same sentence. Frisbee re-leases on the dropouts every 108 seconds.

I'll run with this on the M and do stock boots on the core 2 duo and the Bay Trail box tomorrow.

Update: Up with stock kernel and serving samba shares on the Bay Trail desktop, wired ethernet. I am using a modified version of 01mickos simple samba setup so I can lock it down to my local network. Other than that it's OOTB. Really nice to have the firewall sorted with the additional options working. Continuing to use on the Pentium M lappie with forcepae and the 4.5 kernel, SNS WPA2 connection. No hitches there as yet either.

Cheers,

If anyone would like to add slackware-current to PPM, download the file below and extract it to /root/.packages then update PPM datbase.

[01micko]

Nice job rg.

Downloading now.

Any chance of a blog post?

Must resuscitate my Pentium M and give it a spin on that.

Cheers!

Thanks guys!

Thanks @RG66 for the updated distro as you are showing that PAE can be developed and released for practically every x86 PCs built since 1995 to present.

Thanks @Marv for your sharing of the multiple kernels that work with your configuration(s).

Puppy Linux, in the future, PUPs may not need to carry the PAE distinction as you have shown it to be unnecessary. This distro boots to all PCs.

Anyone know of a PC since year 2000 that this distro does NOT boot to? If so, share your experiences as if would be helpful, IMHO. No responses, would be helpful, too, as this would show that PUPs built for PAE can run on all known x86s with any amount of RAM, small or large, that the PC contains.

Hope this helps all

If anyone would like to add slackware-current to PPM, download the file below and extract it to /root/.packages then update PPM datbase.

Hi,

I downloaded the slackware_current.tar.gz, extracted it and then copied
the files to /root/.packages, then updated PPM.
I chose kpat from the slacko current repo and it downloaded kpat but
none of the dependencies so that failed.
I deleted the save file and started over, did not add the slackware current
repo and kpat installed along with the dependencies, works fine.

That's it so far.

Edit: more info:

Thanks for the report Billtoo.

I added the repo according to /usr/local/petget/README-add-repo.htm, that part seems ok. I had a look at /root/.packages/Packages-slackware-current and there are no dependencies listed for any package. Either a slackware or PPM issue?

Hi rg66 & billtoo

This is a Slackware issue - encountered on LxPupSc - Mavrothal provided me with a fix that copies the dependencies from 14.1 to current.

Slackware-current has many updated libraries so it will be very hit and miss which will run on a 14.1 base I think as dependency versions are not detected by ppm....

BTW - 14.1 does not have dependencies either - they come from another project (slackel I believe) which does not yet have a current verison.

Thanks peebee but that package does not work as is for X-slacko. I've done some edits and have it working more or less but something breaks gtkdialog in /usr/local/petget/installpreview.sh so the examine missing deps window won't open.

Working on it but going over PPM scripts can do your head in. (where's the emoticon with the gun to its head?)

[rg66]

I think I have the slackware-current issues sorted. Everything is included in the .pet below, no need to update databases.

[Billtoo]

I installed the pet to add the slackware current repo and with the
slackware current repo chosen I added xine.
It downloaded and installed with dependencies but wouldn't run until I
added libpng16 and libjpeg with PPM.
I runs now but can't get sound, it's missing a codec.

As peebee stated:

"Slackware-current has many updated libraries so it will be very hit and miss which will run on a 14.1 base I think as dependency versions are not detected by ppm...."

So it's more of an experiment I guess, as long as it doesn't break PPM.

[LazY Puppy]

Hi.

Dowloaded X-Slacko 4.0 ISO to try to turn it into a T.O.P.L.E.S.S. LazY Puppy 5.

Found a very very very strange thingy inside of it s initrd.gz.

What a crazy init script this has...

snippet...

#RDSH is a boot param. exit to initial ramdisk shell...
if [ "$RDSH" = "yes" ];then
echo > /dev/console
echo "Dropped to initramfs shell. Type 'exec switch' to continue booting Puppy." > /dev/console
exec /bin/sh >/dev/console 2>&1
fi

#v3.01 a bit untidy, but cd may still be mounted when it doesn't have to be...
case $PMEDIA in
*cd)
[ "$PDEV1" ] && umount /dev/$PDEV1 2>/dev/null #okay if it fails.
;;
esac

sync
#killall -USR1 hotplug2 #v423
umount /proc/bus/usb
umount /sys
umount /dev
umount /proc

#now using cpio archive for initramfs 'initial ramdisk'...
exec switch_root /pup_new /sbin/init

Strange, not sure how that happened. Luckily it doesn't seem to effect anything so it can wait to be fixed until next release.

There is a Broadcom STA pet in the Tahr repo "broadcom_sta-6.30.223.271_k3.14.56-pae.pet"

I installed that pet and rebooted, no luck.
I have a Ubuntu install that has the Broadcom STA driver available in the Additional Drivers and that worked under Ubuntu.
It's not a big deal since this is a mini desktop pc but having wireless supported would have been a bonus.

Thanks

You may have to blacklist b43 and / or ssb if they are grabbing your wifi before wl can do so....have a look with lsmod

Is the X-slacko kernel the 3.14.56-pae from tahrpup? If not the pet will never work....they are kernel specific
