Oh I see James, thanks for correcting my misunderstanding. I'm downloading Slax now, it looks worth a try.

I've just downloaded Slax 6.12 and am posting from it now. It's amazing what the devs have managed to pack into 200 MB - it'd no doubt be sacrilege here to say it's a rival for Puppy Slacko, but I feel I should say that I'm playing a music video in Firefox now without having to download Flash first and I wish that could be taken for granted with Puppy too. _________________ Dell Optiplex GX-620: Pentium IV (3.4 GHz), 2 GB of RAM, 80 GB hard drive running Puppy Carolina 1.1, PuppEX 5.3.3.2, Puppy PHAT 5.5.0.2, Solus 1.3, Neptune 3.3, Vector 7.1 Beta, Mint 15 XFCE and Korora 1.9.

It's not bad for something that was released in 2009........  Still holds up well though. The new Slax 7 should be interesting ..... still in pre-alpha though.

Yeah, I've just noticed the Firefox version - 3.5.1, and it still works fine with Flash. KDE 3.5.10 is still a goodie too.
Agreed. _________________ Dell Optiplex GX-620: Pentium IV (3.4 GHz), 2 GB of RAM, 80 GB hard drive running Puppy Carolina 1.1, PuppEX 5.3.3.2, Puppy PHAT 5.5.0.2, Solus 1.3, Neptune 3.3, Vector 7.1 Beta, Mint 15 XFCE and Korora 1.9. |

Tiny Core is my second favorite distro. (My first is Puppy.) I use TinyCore on my 1gb flash drive directly _________________ Desktop: Intel 945PSN Board, 3.2Ghz P-IV "Prescott 2M", 2GB RAM, No HDD, No OS Netbook: Acer AOD257 with 2GB upgrade, Windows 7 and Debian 7.2 "Wheezy" |

Today I downloaded Slackware 14 32bit. I am having trouble installing it in Virtualbox though. Anyways the stable came out yesterday, so i'd thought I'll download it. Downloading it from the website on a slow connection sure beats having to pay $50 for it to be mailed to my house. _________________ Desktop: Intel 945PSN Board, 3.2Ghz P-IV "Prescott 2M", 2GB RAM, No HDD, No OS Netbook: Acer AOD257 with 2GB upgrade, Windows 7 and Debian 7.2 "Wheezy" |

Slax and Porteus are not the same ? I like Porteus. I have it on a USB Stick. Very pretty, Well. Nothing to say. Perfect connexions, sound is perfect. But... But.... But i am used to puppies. |

Slackware 14 running Pmusic ???? (tip : ssh  )
Also did a NFS install to my eeepc 701sd, no KDE. xfce is enough for that (and this, celeron 2.6)

I am still having trouble installing Slackware 14. Since I will end up getting a 16GB USB flash Drive, I think I'll put it on there and use that with my old dell (my old dell got it's hard drive removed). _________________ Desktop: Intel 945PSN Board, 3.2Ghz P-IV "Prescott 2M", 2GB RAM, No HDD, No OS Netbook: Acer AOD257 with 2GB upgrade, Windows 7 and Debian 7.2 "Wheezy" |

I would advise against trying to install Slackware to a usb stick. The only thing to install to a usb stick is the usbboot.img which only contains the installer and some basic tools to get you installed from another location such as folder on your hard drive or a local network location. I had to use that to install to my eee pc and I'll have to again as I'm setting up a server with no DVD drive. I am going to lock that baby down tight! If you want to persist I highly recommend reading all of the documentation contained on the DVD. Just for interests sake, I had peppermint on the eee before I decided to put 14 on it. I could not think of a worse OS for a eee! Windows were off screen everywhere. Ships with google browser which is supposed to be netbook friendly. Not this one. Horses for courses I guess. _________________ Woof Mailing List | keep the faith | |

Well I have the CD version and not the DVD version. Do any the 4 main CDs have enough documentation? I know how to install it but I keep on getting "input/output" errors when the pkgs are being installed. _________________ Desktop: Intel 945PSN Board, 3.2Ghz P-IV "Prescott 2M", 2GB RAM, No HDD, No OS Netbook: Acer AOD257 with 2GB upgrade, Windows 7 and Debian 7.2 "Wheezy" |

Input/output errors are either one of two things, a bad burn or your CD reader is struggling, likely due to age. Maybe try a slower burn speed. I haven't done a CD install in years, but I think all the docs are on the first CD. I don't know how much system you'll get with only 1 CD, you are likely not to get X, in which case, once installed you would need to run slackpkg (after manually choosing a mirror) and install packages. If you know how to setup an NFS server on another linux machine then it should install. You can also install it from a windows share, but you need password-less access, and the ability to mount the CD in windows. Of course a Linux samba share works similarly. Here a fellow has installed to a USB stick, but he wants to make it portable, something lilo isn't really suited to. Grub4dos works fine with Slackware. Don't be afraid to ask questions on LQ. It's a pretty friendly place there as long as you follow the etiquette. _________________ Woof Mailing List | keep the faith | |
