   Thanks man, for looking into this! Command nfsstat on the server comes back with nfs v3. So, then the NFS client should just work, right? Any ideas?

   Could anyone confirm that their nfs client is working in this RC, and I am a donkey?

   QupZilla! Great browser! Glad it was made available!
   How can I install the missing icons (home, foward, back, etc)?

   Since version 1.2 the option in main menu: "Tools" > "Open Current Folder as Root",
   is removed due to security considerations....lol
   ------------------------------------------------------------

   any chance to downgrade pcmanfm to 1.1.x.x in Slitaz 5 ?

   About "Tools" > "Open Current Folder as Root"
   just once use "open with" dialog. write gksu pcmanfm command, and "Open Current Folder as Root" at the bottom. it will be saved in right click menu.

   v1.2 contains plugins (modules), including allowing menu editing, but missed while compile-errors? now me forced to run "Find" http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/trying-to-fix-pcmanfm-modules

   Hi Ceel,

   A pair of answers that I know.

   Would it be possible to have the same way to login in TazPanel than when opening
   a session (hit [Enter] after Username is entered, and not [Tab])? Just a suggestion.

   No, it's not possible. Your web browser displays that dialog you see. And this dialog is hardcoded into web engine browser use. In other words, we haven't control on it.

   what is exactly the difference between bzImage
   and vmlinuz-3.2.53-slitaz?

   No difference. Really only one file is stored in the ISO filesystem, and you can access it using two different filenames. "bzImage" is short, but nothing saying name. "vmlinuz-3.2.53-slitaz" describes you exact kernel version.

   In case anyone has his qupzilla or midori browser crash when loading flash media, I have a work around solution.
   Check this first:
   cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags
   Look if if your cpu flags sse2. If yours only says sse, then you have an old pc (like me) and you cannot use the latest flash player, but only up to version 11.1 (Why, I don't know. But I would like to understand...)

   First remove any flash player you may have installed.

   For sse flagged cpu's you can download last supported flash version here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_11.1.102.63_archive.zip

   Open with XArchive Manager, find the version for your architecture, and copy the libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. To be sure, I also copied to /usr/lib/qupzilla and /usr/lib/midori. For opera /usr/lib/opera/plugins .

   I hope this helps to anyone!

   I've tried running slitaz with qemu 1.4.0 (qemu-system-i386 slitaz-5.0-rc1.iso), and by using the default options (english, slitaz live), I arrive on an empty desktop, with only openbox and an open terminal. No menu, no toolbar.

   I tried running slitaz with virtualbox 4.2.12, this time either I get stuck during boot at "using mwait in idle threads." or "switching / to tmpfs", or I arrive on a black screen (no mouse, nothing), or I arrive on a full slitaz desktop (with menu, wallpaper), but the mouse is not working (at random, without changing any option in virtualbox).

    In fact it's not stuck with virtualbox, it's only dead slow (like 10 minutes to boot, 1 minutes between 2 mouse moves...)

    i have installed Slitaz 5.0-rc1 on my HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC - Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2430M CPU @ 2.40GHz and it did not boot with kernel vmlinuz-3.2.53-slitaz. It hangs with something usb synaptics, not only the Desktop. The same problem with bootoption 'screen=text'.
    With a kernel of linux-source and then compiled with make, make modules, make modules_install, the system boots. Today 'tazpkg recharge && tazpkg up' and updated linux. The same problem. It does not boot with this kernel but it boots with the compiled bzImage.

    I did not change anything in the .config file. Only get-linux-source does not find serveral patches and i skipped the patches. I have no idea why the regular kernel does not boot on my HP laptop. I tried Slitaz stable too, and it was hanging at boot too.
    When it boots, I like slitaz and the fan is less noisy.

    @farvardin: not enough ram? Virtualbox needs more than qemu, cause of static mem assignment...

    The host system has 8 Gb ram and the guest system 512 Mb. Anyway, I've just found by disabling vtx (virtualisation) option in virtualbox, it's now working perfectly. Strange because all other linux distribution I tried in the past worked correctly (and generally better, faster) with this option enabled.

    For qemu, the problem was: "Set virtual RAM size to megs megabytes. Default is 128 MiB."

    So I started it like that: qemu-system-i386 -m 512 slitaz-5.0-rc1.iso and everything works fine now, thank you for the hints.

    I wonder is this value wasn't higher in the past but maybe it's just me...

    Btw, the starting menu in slitaz is not very clear: what is the difference between "live", "core live", "gtkonly", "base live"... ? It could be helpfull to learn the difference in the help menu at startup.

    Anyway, slitaz rocks as always :)

    Hi!

    Some major problems I've found in the LiveCD:

    1- I can mount my pen drive unit using the Panel->Hardware->Disks, but I can't copy any file from hard disk to it. The message "Permission denied" is shown, even if I'm the Root user (su). This is the most critical issue, because I can't use Slitaz to copy files from HD in an emergency, one of the best features the OS has.

    2- the OS don't mount automatically the hard drive, as well as any other usb device. I need to manually mount them.

    3- there's no sound.

    4- you can't eject the CD from the drive, unless you access Panel->Hardware->Disks.

    Tested Slitaz LiveCD on this PC:
    Intel Celeron 2.2GHz
    512MB RAM
    Sound provided by the motherboard itself.

    Hi
    For the sound have you tried
    #alsactl init
    For the files and mount a partition of the hard disk
    $su then #pcmanfm (no tazpanel here)
    Eventually to eject the CD
    #umount /dev/sg1 (maybe sg2) and #eject /dev/sg1
    Have a nice day.
