hi-ya-all,

according to makers, the latest 'slitaz-cooking-iso' brings only X11
and no XVESA support - a drawback for many potential users,
especially if the new standard release 'v3' applies the same
philosophy.
there are very many machines out there for which no suitable display
drivers are integrated into the live.iso - which will surely compromise
the "portability strategy" of a live-system ; XVESA - if not optimally -
at least works on most machines.
if the linux community wants to win over users from 'ms.windows' -
as i gather it does and think it should - then it must take great care
that the system boots to a usable GUI on justabout any machine,-
especially important for a live-OS.
even if this entails a few extra MBs on the live.iso, i consider it to be
a prerogative for 'a working live-distro' to pack usable display-drivers
- as parexample 'puppylinux' does.
you could take as motto : "who cares if it`s .vesa or .org - as long as
the 'X.' works !".
for 'slitaz' it should be paramount to fix its approach toward X-drivers.
***a sad example of a non-working system is the above 'cooking' on
one of my machines - with an intel i810 chip (known also for bad
framebuffer mode support, among other idiosyncrasies).
+++ bash says to xconfig. ~ : -shadow argument incorrect............
must i cope with this ? - i never entered any 'arguments' ........ and
i don`t want to have any - over beer, yoghurt, or whatnot
(i prefer wine ! - it brings me smoothness in this rough age).

so, if you want to come out of the shadow, remember :
there are very many p3 and p4 machines sitting out there
and crying for a sleek&slim (=lean) OS - go out and get them !
[even p2 with 128mb ram would be workable with install to hdd]
