Hello,
For SLAX 6.1.2, I have made the module called "attbins", which also contains PAN, a very good newsreader.
( http://pan.rebelbase.com/ )
Unfortunately, PAN does not work out-of-the-box with Porteus. It needs some fixes.
When you convert the attbins-PAN-containing-module to Porteus XZM module and you start pan, it looks like that:

This means: It does not display characters at all, just squares.
I am trying to figure out what to do, but I cannot seem to fix it.
I have tried to copy fontpaths and font-dirs from Slax 6.1.2 to Porteus, but I had no luck.
Please help, any advice is greatly appreciated.
Posted after 8 minutes 55 seconds:
By the way, when starting up PAN, from the converted Slax module, I get the following errors:
bash-4.1# pan
(process:19151): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
(pan:19151): Pango-CRITICAL **: No modules found:
No builtin or dynamically loaded modules were found.
PangoFc will not work correctly.
This probably means there was an error in the creation of:
'/etc/pango/pango.modules'
You should create this file by running:
pango-querymodules > '/etc/pango/pango.modules'
(pan:19151): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='latin'
(pan:19151): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='common'
(pan:19151): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated
(pan:19151): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated
Can you help me to make a PAN module? (newsreader)

@att
please stop using 32bit modules (pango errors are related to different paths). you will save a lot of troubles to us and yourself.
building 64bit 'pan' is very easy with slackyd, do as follows:
(i forgot to change repositories to 64 bit so first command is critical - sorry for that)
sed -i /etc/slackyd/slackyd.conf -e 's/slackware-13.37/slackware64-13.37/g'
slackyd -u
slackyd -g pan
slackyd -g gtkspell
slackyd -g gmime
slackyd -g enchant
now convert all txz packages placed in /var/slackyd to xzm with dolphin (porteus module tools didnt work for me, gonna fix it). and activate, effect:
