the problem is that mozilla doesn't provide 64bit builds of firefox and you need to compile it from sources
anybody knows updated ff slackware package?
Erwww that really sucks...
And for some funny reason, the animated icons all in a sudden work like a charm in FFx 4.0... *shrug*

still waiting on kde-4.6.3 (should be out yesterday). i have bumped kernel to version 2.6.38, LXDE to latest snapshot from ponce.cc, we have FF-4.0.1 and slackyd-1.0 as a last call updates.
only kde left....
Yay! So... that means Porteus-v1.0-rc2 x86_64 is only moments away?

- force users to install porteus from 64bit linux and not 32 bit one
Why not provide a minimal 64 bit textmode only Porteus as soon as we have the 1.0 finale, just for booting and installing a wanted 1.0 with KDE and / or LXDe?
That version of porteus can start up with a text-like-menu (similar to the way "lin_start_here.sh" does, giving the user the choice to either exit to the plain shell or the choice to cd to some found directories that have ./boot/*some-needed-files-and/or-folders-in-here-for-porteus
Just a thought of mine, might make sense, might also make no sense. You decide.
Or does that make no sense?

And finally, about loading a module at runtime. the GIMP module by Ahau from
http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=334#p1778 loads and runs like a charm (thanks for that, Ahau) but it won't update the menu entry in LXDE when loaded via the virtual console using activate. I was told that "activate" will run xactivate when it finds a running X... but maybe that is only true when run from a X terminal?
