Just found a bug in gtkservicesetup, look at the cgconfig and the following rows marked in red in the picture below, the description show "The gconfig service" it should be "The cgconfig service"

I assume old Slackel users just need to do the usual update, right? My Slackel system was not updated for a few days now.

Yes.
In case you have rendering font problems with gdm, install slim and go to init3 then init 4 or reboot.

Also for kernel upgrade can install the install-upgrade-kernel package and then run it. It will download and install kernel and modules and also in the end wil run update-grub.

Code: Select all

sudo install-upgrade-kernel upgrade huge
For kernel-firmware and kernel-source

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get -i kernel-firmware kernel-source

I don't use any display manager so it doesn't affect me but slim is a better choice than gdm anyway... and in one machine I simply don't want to upgrade the kernel because it messes up the screen (at least that's what happened last time I tried). Are there any changes concerning Openbox? I remember you mentioned a possible change of the taskbar. Also, do I have to run Dotnew?
P.S. The new USB installation willl definitely help many users.

No changes at least user can see. About the taskbar i have thought to use lxpanel but in current it was problematic. Where freezing X.
So continue to use the stable fbpanel.
I think you do not have to run Dotnew.
I run it and i did not see any difference. But be careful what you replace.
