Tiny Core 3.0 Alpha 4 Testing

@roberts: Could that be a typo regarding the libpng version? AFAIK there was a 'libpng-1.2.43' released in February.

After further examination I found an "error" in the script that I need to run to load my network card firmware (and I need network access to use the appbrowser):  it mounts a persistent home over /home/tc and in that home directory is my ROX configuration directory /home/tc/.config/rox.sourceforge.net

If I don't mount this persistent home ROX does indeed start

For information the offending file that causes rox to not start is
/home/tc/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons
This XML file links icons to programs/directories

Why this file is interpreted differently between Alpha3 and Alpha4 is a mystery for me.  I will have to examine this further

maro:
Here is another one of my "silly" observations:
--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ echo $PATH | tr ":" "\n" | while read d ; do ls -l ${d}/* ; done | grep -v 'root     root'
ls: /usr/local/sbin/*: No such file or directory
-rwsr-xr-x    1 root     staff       650048 May 20  2009 /usr/bin/Xvesa
-rwxr-xr-x    1 tc       staff          636 Apr 25 14:54 /usr/bin/flwm_topside_initmenu
-rwxr-xr-x    1 tc       staff           44 Nov 13  2009 /usr/bin/flwm_topside_restart
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     staff        42044 Feb 28 00:36 /usr/bin/wbar
-rwxr-xr-x    1 tc       staff          218 Oct 28  2009 /usr/bin/wbar.sh

--- End code ---

I guess it's almost a "matter of taste" whether the initrd should contain all directories included in $PATH. Maybe another question is whether all executables in the "standard" $PATH should be owned by 'root:root' to have some consistency in that regard.

@maro:

What happens if, in alpha4 and with a freshly installed ROX,  you right-click on a file or directory and select the "Set Icon..." function?

Here it causes the filer window to disappear without warning.
In alpha3 you get the correct behaviour:  the Set Icon dialog appears.

I confirm this behaviour.
