Slacko 5.7 final
I copied a manual frugal install of Slacko 5.7.0 along with a manual frugal
install of Slacko64 5.8.8 to a 64gb class 10 SDXC card, pc is a Macmini.
The card is formatted ext4 and using grub4dos 1.9.1
Both are using openbox + lxpanel.
Both are working well.
Thanks for both

Problems until now:
- no / wrong mouse cursor ( interesting that if I take a screen shot mouse cursor apear correct in pic )

Any idea if/how can be fixed ?
thank you

I fixed cursor with help from here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/poulsbo
replaced section Device with this section
problem with screen flickering remain, maybe it is possible to replace screen driver with one from Precise 5.7.1. that one it's working fine or it is a kernel problem ?

James C, did you have to do anything to make that combination work, *other* than install the SFS and reboot? (Er, I assume a reboot is still necessary in P570...?)
If there's not much to it, I *will* try it -- I've loved GNOME2 since my first day tinkering with Linux (Ubuntu 7.04 great looks, not so hot on the functionality tho) and I know that MATE is a fork/continuation of GNOME2. XFCE is not a bad imitation -- but fake is fake, you know?

Loaded the sfs,exited to prompt and entered "xwin mate-session" (without the quotes) and it's alive.
With Sfs-load-on-the-fly it's too easy.
Nice so SFS-Load On-The-Fly is the new BootManager, sorta. Hmm. Interesting... I remember when SFS-Load OTF was an /alternative/ to BootManager's SFS tab, and IIRC users were cautioned not to use it for something like this. That actually wasn't that long ago -- how far we've come, and how fast...
Meh. I'm excited now Trying Slacko 57 + MATE in a little bit, soon as it downloads. This should be fun

There is a newer version of Open SSL in the Updates Manager.
That thing is getting to be bad for needing to be updated for security issues.
The latest version is OpenSSL 1.0.1i

Hi,
I found a bug in Puppy Slacko 5.7.0. The problem is with the keyboard layout. In Ukrainian language when picked up "winkeys ua: Winkeys" layout variant it works until first reboot. After rebooting system or X server it automatically comes back to old layout variant. Any suggestion how this could be fixed?

Why slacko 5.7. pae version does not work in HP Pavilion zv5000 laptop? Live-CD with works perfectly, but when its installed on the hard disk and start again, then gets stuck to loading the kernel modules, and then nothing happens .. Forced to forcibly shut down the machine.
Precise 5.7.1 version works and installs properly, but I would like to use slacko version, when it is developed further.

Hello @SPPo71.
If you PC works when you boot using Live media and does NOT when you attempt FULL install, then the problem is with the installer.
There has been much work, of late, addressing problems with FULL Slacko installations. See this thread and its recent discussions on both 32bit and 64bit PUPs.
Hope this also addresses the problem you have run into. Several solutions are shown. I think the PUI may be what you would need.

Maybe it's a little late to say this but, the catalyst driver for this version crashes constantly, bloats the ram after crashing and generates some artifacts while playing sauerbraten. the shaders problem on sauerbraten is also present on the windows version of the driver.
i downgraded the slacko beta 2 kernel to 3.4.82 to run a different driver and the sauerbraten's artifacts disappeared, now portal 2 doesn't crash like 15 seconds after loading the game so far. sauerbraten didn't crashed.
the only problems that i notice is that steam windows cannot be moved like if were a splash image, switching to windowed screen on portal will only displayed like 1/4 of the screen and thats about it.
I'll let you know if this works in ver 5.7

Non linuxians install Puppy for its light and complete apps.
"Abiword is included for posterity and will be unceremoniously dumped by me as quick as 5.7 is out. I hate it. In saying all that, Abiword is just fine for typing letters to Nan, opening (read only) most MS documents and very basic stuff" Abiword is so light, and typing letters fullfill the needs of 90% of users. Please don't remove it.
Non Linuxian people would'nt know how to load it. LIbre office and OOo, no need to change from Windows as these suites are available too in Windows version.
You hate it, we like it.
4MB vs 150MB !
I would like download Slacko 5.7 with virtual machine, avidemux openshot but without suite office (i am retired now and office is not my pleasure, only some notes and letters from time to time) 500 MB is too big.

With regard to Abiword (I imagine this has been discussed before!) what about Ted as a built-in alternative?
http://www.nllgg.nl/Ted/
It's pretty light, reads .rtf, has optional plug-ins (eg spell-checking) and I've always found it reliable and responsive - for example it handles a 20mb document including lots of images far better than LibreOffice or Abiword. Shame it doesn't handle .svg
