Im still having some printer, network printer and usb issues with pclinuxos updates. I've been digging into hotplug and udev and have gotten a few more printers functional now. Usbkeys are still dead and I know it is related to udev and hotplug. Im hoping these issues will clear out in the next few days and I am able to cut an updated iso.
I also found xorg 6.8.2 released today so I built a set of binaries and uploaded them to the premuim server and ibiblio.org. Tonight I noticed in the forums a person who has the unichrome video card that will only go 800x600 so I downloaded the r30 unichrome driver release and added to my next build of xorg 6.8.2-2tex which I will post tomorrow. Hopefully his video will be able to go to a higher resolution.
There was a posting on one of the kde mailing lists about adding export KDE_NO_IPV6=1 to /usr/bin/startkde that might improve the performance of KDE. I tried it and had Sal give it a try on his machine but neither of us could see any difference.
Tom sent a few emails about some good updates to the mklivecd scripts. He has done a tremendous job of getting these scripts updated. Ivan and Tom almost have unionfs working with the livecd making the cdr appear writable like a hard drive. It seems to be working with fluxbox but not yet with KDE.
I finally got around to jrangels new logo graphic for pclinux. I think is looks pretty good and I posted a poll to get some user feedback. I'd like to get away from the little blue penquin due to some possible future problems using it.

Elephant and Its Ivory
LIVES at risk. This is a travesty. REPUBLIC OF NAMIBIA'S MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT, FORESTRY AND TOURISM: "We should manage elephants based on science and not emotions." By auctioning/selling off 170 live elephants? Give us a break. Oftentimes, animals were to make a sacrifice over humans because they are just "animals", so they can't speak to us, and can't protest. We're asked to assume they're just the least important, therefore we can eradicate (or "cull") them -- as simple as that. How I wish the the Animal Kingdom will become a force and burn this kind of society just to make a statement -- and then, maybe, humans will truly realise the value of animal rights. Shame on those African countries which don't give a shit about all those people who tirelessly devoted their time and life to protecting the wild animals, and specifically the elephants. Animals can't speak, but they can see you and they can feel you; just look into and gaze at their eyes, doesn't that give you a goosebumps? Burn. █ | today's howtos

GNOME 41 Desktop Environment Slated for Release on September 22nd, 2021
While some of you out there are still waiting for the GNOME 40 desktop environment to arrive in the stable software repositories of your favorite GNU/Linux distribution, the GNOME Project is already working on the next major version, GNOME 41.
Development on the GNOME 41 release will kick out soon and it will stick to the same routine as in the GNOME 40 development cycle, meaning that public testers will be able to test drive only an Alpha, a Beta, and a Release Candidate.
| This week in KDE: Activities on Wayland
This week the Wayland train continued barreling on, full speed ahead! We picked up a bunch of nice fixes and a big feature...
The “Activities” feature now mostly works on Wayland! There are a few remaining things to implement to make it 100% comparable to the X11 version, but that should get done in time for the next Major Plasma release (Kevin Ottens, Plasma 5.22)
Sticky Note widgets now have an option to change the font size (Shantanu Tushar, Plasma 5.22)...
