slacko-5.3.7.1 [all versions]
-----------------------

Many bugfixes from beta2. See changes @

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=645085#645085

General
-------

If you have video blackscreen at boot try:

pfix=ram i915.modeset=0
pfix=ram radeon.modeset=0
pfix=ram nouveau.modeset=0

depending on your card of course.

NB:
i915 is for intel
radeon is for radeon
nouveau is for nvidia


Kernels are now bumped to 3.2.33 and 3.4.17. That's
it, they will be final. All big three video have KMS 
enabled and switched on in userspace. See above
for method to defeat if you boot to blackscreen with intel,
radeon, nvidia.
Kernels have modules for usbip now built in. I expect rcrsn51
might post his pets without modules for testing.


Full Install
------------

These should now be fixed. Please test.

Repo
----

I have populated the repo with some packages.
Please test them vigorously for bugs in installation
including menu entries and dependencies. I have fixed 
some of the bugs and patches were accepted upstream.
Still need a lot more packages! I'll go through the 
forum, I know some have been posted and also I have been
sent some.

Broadcom
--------

Sould be ok for firmware now. Need to get wl compiled
and will probably be in the next release

carl9170 (atheros)
--------

Anyone?

Ndiswrapper
-----------

This is not done yet. It will be for the next.

ISA sound
---------

Still a work in progress, alsaconf is still disabled.

Opera
-----

Brand new Opera-12.10. Seems fine to me, didn't test printing.

Firefox
-------

I have it automated in woof now to get the latest and fix that
annoying %u thing. Really, Joe (JWM) should fix it at his end.

Pmusic
------

Zigbert has worked tirelessly on this the last few days.
I have seen on the forum all sorts of hours! It's nearly
at version 3, please test. Working here.

Features
--------

Many of you wont know that slacko is ready 
out of the box to connect to any windows box with
rdesktop. 

Connect to any linux box with ssh. And to turn it into
an ssh server just search PPM for "openssh", install
it, then fix the permissions on /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd

# chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd

Then start it with a reboot or manually:

# /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd start

You will see your keys being generated.
Now just login to the server with a client using the server's IP.

# ssh root@192.168.X.XX

You can run graphical commands as if you were sitting there.

OR, use mcewanw's neat proggy "premote" .. it does rdesktop and ssh :^)
