Just noticed that:
I named my bootable Slacko CD-RW = slacko-5.7.0-pae- ataflash .iso
There is a save file on an internal partition.
I guess the ataflash indicates that the iso file has been customized to make the Slacko run in pupmode=13.

Any idea how long it's likely to be until F96-CE v5 is issued?
I'm wondering whether to hold off customizing FossaPup for my needs, or if it's likely to be a long time, to go ahead now.
I don't fancy having to do it twice.
