Jason W:
Fixed a whitespace bug in sce names in loadsce when using the select menu.  Uploaded new cut to release_candidates.  If no more bugs, this will be the 4-1.14 release.

roberts:
Awesome. Worked, as expected, without any issues!
First tried something trivial, importsce sl  ;) choo choo
Then used our standard xsetup script. Worked beautifully. Tiny Core desktop via Ubuntu repos.
Then importsce firefox. This post is via firefox running from an Ubuntu Saucy imports!

Jason W:
I am glad to hear it is working!  From the PPA repo I installed truecrypt, BOINC, as well as the nightly build of firefox.  Ubuntu has arm in the works it seems, x86 or x86_64 for now.  It would be doable to have an x86_64 dCore,  my laptop is 64 bit so maybe one day.   Minor adjustments would fit Ubuntu into the existing dCore scripts, I think that would make a good theme for the next release. 

For those who may not understand, drawing from Ubuntu is not about eye candy, in fact the smaller desktops look the same and Icewm has "Debian" on the start button.  Ubuntu-desktop package does not fully work likely missing startup script actions, but Gnome in Wheezy does for the most part and bare Gnome in Ubuntu should as well.   The significance of Ubuntu is an even wider set of up to date packages from Ubuntu's standard repos as well as the PPA.  The 6 month release cycle versus Debian's at about a year and a half offers another choice for those who like a more current system.  One is not better than the other in that sense, but it provides options. 

Jason W:
dCore Wheezy now contains main, contrib, and non-free by default.  Other repos can be specified.
