Ok I updated to Slacko 5.3.2.7 with Vlc and now it works!

However xvid does not work.

Further investigation shows GNOME-player can do some xvid files
although some is just a mish-mash of colours

I wonder if ellgor and p310don is using slacko?

Their answer doesnt seem to work with transmission 1.20 on slacko

However tixati works allthough it doesnt register itself as default handler by itself

But you can copy link location and open it in Tixati

Thank you

Why can't I unplug USB after booting Puppy?

Why can I not unplug USB when OS is fully loaded in RAM?

Can you do it without savefile?

is it the swap partition that causes problems?

OKay found it

The "mousepointer over this dialog to start setup" dialog was called from

usr/sbin/delayedrun


Commented out the dialog? is that dangerous

I think it is there to check if I can move mouse which I can so
probably no problem for me?

What seaside did sounds interesting I think I did a hack that works 1. I will save root/.flsynclient in next remastering 2. I have hacked root/Startup/fullstart to not run "Personalize Settings" (commented it out) 3. I have even more hacked usr/bin/shutdownconfig So that it bypasses dialog...

My problem was not the xorgwizard running but "Personalize settings"
However your link pointed me to the right place so I am very grateful for your contribution

the root/.flsynclient was right what I wanted, Thanks

Run without a savefile

Can you unpack lucid(or Slacko), fill in some basic stuff
like language and keyboard settings?

Maybe som configfiles for wvdial

I just want basic config, everything else i want to throw away after each session?


Can you do it whitout a full recompile?

What are the cons? Hard to upgrade?
