Horrible Critique...

I just took slitaz 4.0 for a test-drive and...

vlc doesn't work without libvlc, then won't play xvid avi's properly OR full-screen

get-java-?6 didn't work and I had to go

to java.com and get the latest, good thing I knew to go back here:

http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/how-to-link-java-jre-to-web-browsers

gmrun doesn't come to the fore-ground - so needs the mouse pointer to focus on it's window to actually work - arrggh"

get-flash- didn't work from the package-manager, went to cli and now it works

...all these things were the same in 3.0 (a couple of years ago?) - Great to see you've

been looking into the first-time-look of it guys...

____________________________________________________________________________________

I saved this text file in my windows video downloads folder, and when I booted windows

again, it took half an hour "trying to fix startup errors" and then gave me the HP backup and restore page, where I chose a "system restore" which took a further 5 minutes, it's all fine now...

Has anyone else had a similar and/or bad first experience with their slitaz? If so, let me know below

Re: Horrible Critique...

blurple,

My first SliTaz (later 2.0 or already 3.0?) boot my netbook to black console only! No graphics at all. No internet connection, all I have is only mobile GPRS/EDGE connection. Fear to break hard disk into partitions, and want to use frugal install only. How to install video driver? How to install internet driver? It was hell wink
