[CS-FSLUG] mini-ITX boot problem-solved!

[Jonathan E. Brickman]

You might try manually applying some Slackware 12 packages.  There is 
reportedly some compatibility designed in...no guarantees :-)  But Puppy 
4 has been shockingly good for me.  There is also compilation from 
source, I think Puppy 4 does have a complete development environment 
available; previous versions did.

Tell me:  under Puppy, does your master+slave CF show up as one drive, 
or two?
