FEATURES
Please whack this hard with sfs loading and various pupmodes (USB installs, save to CD/DVD installs and fulls if you dare). Qemu is in the package manager if you prefer to test that way.. don't forget to load the right KVM module for your processor!. (BTW, qemu was broken, now fixed in 32 and 64)
Enjoy!

Changes
- 6.9.6.4
- bugfixed scroll wheel (ty jlist)
- touchscreen right click - hold with one finger and tap with a second finger
- new 'xfwm touch' theme + minor UI improvement thanks to zigbert
- bugfixed removal of some redundant slackware init scripts
6.9.6.3
- touch support
- new updates manager
- new xorgwizard
- lots of bugfixes
6.9.6.1
- new themes somewhat similar to the ones here.
- new kernels: slacko64 4.1.32 : slacko 3.14.78
- latest woof as of this morning (10 hours ago)
- all iwlwifi firmware *should* be there
- fdrv, which is only small, contains b43 and b43legacy firmwares (thanks to gyro, I cherry picked them from the sfs)
- new wallpaper arrangement so icon and text is closer to centre
- uses slackware util-linux (so encrypted saves wont work - but that is work in progress)
FEATURES
- Touch screen support!!!
- revised updates manager
- *NEW* UEFI USB installer (only supports vfat for now - support for ext{2,3,4}, f2fs and possibly NTFS is on the drawing board)
- latest experimental woof with improvements to the init script from gyro as well as significant contributions to sfs_load plus many more 'under the hood' enhancements. Also new xorgwizard from jlist
- new initrd statically compiled programs from jlist (aka wdlkmpx). These can actually be reproduced as part of the woof process.
- numerous library and application upgrades from upstream including Firefox 45 ESR (latest in 6.9.6.3), CUPS-2.1.5, GParted and many more (see the Slackware changelog)
- Many updates locally, including, but not limited to, htop, samba, pMusic (and friends form zigbert), peasy* apps (from rcrsn51), PupMates (from radky) and many more
- Almost all apps have been recompiled against the Slackware64-14.2 toolchain for maximum stability
- latest 4.1x LTS kernel compiled natively
- UEFI boot capability is built in to the ISO image - turn off secure boot and fast boot first if running windows>=8.0
- B43 and B43 legacy firmware is not included. I'm looking for a way to better integrate this in woof. EDIT: now in fdrv on the ISO
- there is an SVG bug when using embedded images to do with glib/gtk - reported to upstream NOTE: as of 11/09/16 gtk+-2 is updated for a CVE. Dunno yet if it fixes the SVG bug (doesn't)
- firmware is huge accounting for the size of the ISO image. Probably 30M of this could be trimmed, but I'll only do this on the i686 (32 bit) version
- xsane is partially broken - sometimes works but of course that isn't good enough EDIT: looks like my scanner is flakey as reports are xsane is working
- 32 bit misses pure-ftpd so that is broken - fixed
- 32 has less firmware
