Slacko 5.3.3 WI-FI
Been a big fan of Puppy Linux for many years, having a bootable USB stick in your pocket in the IT game is a very handy thing. When I got a new work laptop (ooooooh!) my Puppy stick broke due to drivers and time for an upgrade. Oh work laptop is a Dell E5420, nothing special but not bad either. Afte...

Puppy for ION Motherboards
Afternoon all, I have an Asus motherboard which consists of a Dual Atom & ION chipset. Getting any form of Linux to work properly with it has been a complete nightmare! Most 'Buntu based stuff freezes up after a while and it has spent most of its life with a Puppy disk in its CD drive (a ecco fl...

Dell Latitude with DW1530 Wireless-N
I thought I had better test my Rescue USB stick out on my new corporate laptop ... Slacko did not even recognise the Broadcom NetXtreme 57XX LAN card let alone the DW1530 Wireless-N card. Its Dell Latitude 5420. In the process of taking Racey for a spin to see if that helps, but does anyone know of ...

OK Big Pup was correct the upgrade process was slick and sweet, just copied the three main files from the new ISO and rebooted! One issue wireless no longer works :-( better head off to the 5.3.7 testing thread. As for shutting down, still just reboots and does not shut down, I built a Slacko 5.3.7 ...

Hello there BigPup ... thanks for taking the time to help, You have a frugal install on a USB flash drive. Basically, you replace all the old files, with new ones from the newer version, keeping the old save file. When you boot, with the new version, it will update the save file. Yes its a frugal US...

Lucid, Racy or Slacko, what's the difference?
Been totally immersed in Puppies for a little while now and been to all the sites and read all I can but there are still a couple of things where i am confused. Does Slacko relace Lucid? Is it for a different purpose? I get Racy is for newer hardware and is still "buntu" under the hood and...
