See the new slacko website for downloads and links to the release notes and official announcement. I have emailed Barry to contact Ladislav at Distrowatch.
Bug report thread.
Enjoy!

Sorry guys.. I had to reupload the iso. There was a fatal flaw in sfs_load - my fault.
So if you grabbed it before Tue Nov 17 00:04:24 UTC 2015 (Tue Nov 17 10:04:24 EST 2015 [Australian]) you'll have to delete and re-download.

Legacy info
A delta is up at the below link to upgrade your iso 7MB
Updated 11 November
- fixed encrypted save files
- fixed themeing
- latest woof fixes
Get it: http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/te ... ko64/6101/
Use the previous devx
NOTE: no fdrv as per 6.1.0.1 - built from testing branch woof-CE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes are the same as the 32 bit version.
- (kernel source is in the slacko64 repo with the pets)
It is rather large because it has lots of firmware, however it is not all loaded by default. On the iso you'll notice a new file called fdrv_slacko_6.0.8.1.sfs. This is the extra firmware which is cross checked from the kernel modules so that no firmware that is not needed gets included.
The idea is that if all your hardware works then just don't load the fdrv or if you do and install to usb, hdd, whatever discard it. But if some piece of hardware, be it your graphics card or wireless card, doesn't work then you can load the fdrv from the kernel commandline :
Code: Select all
puppy pfix=fw_drv
Other than that this is just a normal slacko64 in every other respect. So report things as per normal.
