Quirky Puppy 5.4.91

It has been a very long time since the last official release of Quirky Puppy! Yes, despite the rather odd version number, this is a new public official release of Quirky.

See the announcement and release notes here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/quirky-5.4.91/quirky-5.4.91-readme.htm

...please do read that page, as this pup is different!

Hmmm, I wondered if Quirky is still listed at Distrowatch, given that the last release was November 2010 -- yes, it is still there. Ladislav, please announce this new release!

Sfs_load fix K3.8
Username: Terryphi
"01micko has produced a fix for sfs_load which causes a crash when used with Kernel 3.8 (Quirky and Racy.) I have tested it and it works but requires reboot before testing. See bottom of page in this Forum thread: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64354&start=210

boot from single file.

"so why is this different, needed, or better than "boot from iso" which has been mastered long ago by other distros eg. knoppix
