PuppEX Bookworm64 Build 230309 with Tint2 as DE (or Window Manager)

NEWS 230309
I've made a new version of PuppEX Bookworm64 with Tint2. Now you will have sound also when logged in as root. That is essential since you normally run all Puppy/PuppEX versions as root. To fix the sound issue I followed the advice here.
First I installed PulseAudio and Pavucontrol with apt install pulseaudio pavucontrol. Then I added root to the Audio Group with usermod -a -G audio root. If you don't get sound when using YouTube (for example) you shall open up a terminal...
