Hi folks! :D
I tested RC3 into Virtualbox. Installation occured without problems. Translations working fine. System working fine. Nice job!
Pros and cons are the same.
@Ceel
Follow mojo's instructions to setup your mouse buttons. (Thanks mojo!)
I checked ~/.config/autostart and /etc/xdg/autostart and both do exist in RC3. I'm not sure about the latest rolling, but the procedure of FAQ page is working at RC3 presented by erjo at the first post of this topic.

Hi mojo + Genesis,
Thanks to both of you; I'm now a little more valid.
Don't know why I didn't think to look in Preferences by myself, it seems to me so evident now; probably head is also affected ;-)
No ~/.config/autostart in rolling but it has been created after I selected Left handed in Preferences; is in RC3.
@ Genesis,
I've some free time during the weeks to come, I'm going to have a look at your problem with Office installation
Thanks again.

Hi all
Tested and impressed :)
Better than 4.0:
- sound is detected and I don't have to go to alsaconf to adjust my laptop volume never again
- no keymap dialog in live which is really good
- love it: pcmanfm usb device(s) detected dialog
- edit: tazusb works perfectly
Missing/bug:
- WIFI
I use Mojo's wl tazpkg previously at Slitaz 4.00
here is the dmesg | grep br

I can't test internet related feature for now.

More tests done today. No bugs found. Cabled (ADSL) internet features are working fine: connection, navigation, download, download/install packs, etc.
I'm unable to test wifi because I only have ADSL connection.
Im my opinion, RC3 is good and stable enough to be annouced at main page as the new Slitaz 5.0 RC-3. :D

I'm able to compile broadcom linux sta 32 bit driver and produce wl.ko, so I'm connected via WIFI now.
However, I don't understand how to succesfully pack it as lzma. I just copy paste it over /lib wireless driver folder. Yep, dirty hack.
http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/5.0/broadcom-wl-5_100_82_112_3.2.53.tazpkg
modprobe -r brcmsmac
modprobe wl
iwconfig eth1 up
iwconfig txpower auto
running wifi box:
got a small error when doing grep SSID name. Apparently because there is a space in my SSID name.
but connected well despite these error.
Internet related app:
- installed OLD opera successfully
- installed Chrome via get-google-chrome succesfully, I can watch youtube alright

Hi lego,
You're right. Yet have a look in /root/.local/share/Trash/files and you can see the deleted files are there.
Now, close the root Xsession and open it again as root; trash now works correctly...

Hello dear Ceel mod, thanks for quick fix.
also I just noticed that we have tazpkg now. Thank you so much for doing that :))
@alanyih: I don't know how but modprobe brcmsmac produce these error:

perhaps brcmsmac is not yet stable or somehow I did something wrong..

but the file is there.

2. Please check Supported Chips

Supported Chips
Please note: at least BCM4313 is not fully supported. Some models appears to work (users reported success), but some don't, and there's no indication that this is going to change. For example: http://marc.info/?t=138817851800006&r=1&w=2
3. The types of available drivers are:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless
Driver Description brcm80211 Kernel driver open-source version b43 Kernel driver reverse-engineered version broadcom-wl Broadcom driver restricted-licenseDriver selection
To know what driver(s) are operable on the computer's Broadcom wireless network device, the device ID and chipset name will need to be detected. Cross-reference them with the driver list of supported brcm80211 and b43 devices.

sixofeight: suppose it'll work I voluntary use my fun weekend to test new slitaz. Hopefully open source driver can be better, but humor me I don't really understand it except I can watch youtube without flash trouble now :)
alanyih, 4313 driver is not stable but provided tazpkg works really well, speed is awesome. anyway, thanks for your help..

It is now three years ago, that I downloaded SliTaz 4.0, which I used since that time.
Since the release of SliTaz 5.0 RC2 I testet slitaz-rolling.iso almost every week, hoping, that some obvious problems could be solved by the programmers. As the spreadsheet startet to work again, I hoped, that the problem with the disappearing mouse in the framebuffer device driver could be solved too, but I learned, that the framebuffer device driver is buggy and that my problem could be solved by installing the Intel driver.
So I built my own iso based on a slitaz-rolling with the intel driver, a favorite clearlooks deepsky theme, a panel at the bottom, bigger fonts and a few of my favorite applications and their translations in about ten languages in in a rootfs0.gz, so that testing would be more fun.
Doing this I found that i18n.cfg had problems with a couple of languages, and I posted the mistakes I found, and they were corrected in i18n.cfg. Unfortunately the SliTaz 5.0 RC3 used an older version of the syslinux package with an old i18n.cfg, which still had the mistakes.
I appreciate the 4 in 1 design of slitaz-rolling.iso, because it helps me better to understand, how SliTaz is being built. Unfortunately SliTaz 5.0 RC3 has only one rootfs.gz. Replacing the Midori browser makes me sad, after testing it over years. Therefore I hope to have a final RC4 being similar to the current slitaz-rolling.iso, which has still problems with tazpkg and tazx for the Greek language, which has it own alphabet. At least SliTaz 5.0 RC3 came at the right time, and I had the opportunity to say, that I prefer the Midori browser and the 4 in 1 design.
