Thanks again for testing and the feedback.
You're absolutely right concerning the way ahead, LibreOffice turns out to be quite a "big fish" with many dependencies on the way, although it will be one of the first bigger ones once we have a stable base.
Concerning the font, I somehow didn't manage to find the right setting to change it, .Xdefaults tricked on me. As DejaVu-ttf is installed, where did you change the xterm setting? (I seem to be a fool here....)
The Login Manager and a correct start of lxpanel will be the next steps. I'm not sure if we should stick to SliM, as it's already rather outdated. Maybe we will have to go for an alternative... We'll see...
I'll try to produce a produce a fully functional 5.x kernel afterwards (or could you deliver that one?); I'm not sure though, if the tazwok receipt is really helpful, generically compiling could be much better than "cooking in the wok" here (I am running generic, hardware-customized 64bit kernels behind 32bit Slitaz for years...).
Will report on further progress...
