Try this: http://forum.salixos.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=4910&p=31878&hilit=multilib#p31878 That must be the post that mimosa referred to. It's a little complicated but I'll try to get to it later today. I have found Salix XFCE to be a very nice distro and I hope I can get Wine installed...

Assuming that you have a 32 bit machine you could try Alien Bob package. Just download it from here: http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/wine/pkg/14.1/ and the cd to the directory you downloaded it to and do this: $ sudo spkg -i wine-1.7.24-i486-1alien.txz He has a 64 bit package but you wi...

On the other hand, a older slackware version is available from winehq

Wine is not an emulator nor win. And I need to install it for my EccoPro PIM (which runs better on GNU/Linuix than it does on Windoze) in Salix 14.1 Xfce (otherwise, a very nice distro).

How do I do that?

Thanks in advance.

The problem with Slackel was the failure of SpaceFM to access ntfs partitions although a workaround for that was suggested. there is no problem with spacefm and ntfs partitions. Just do not mount any ntfs partitions in /etc/fstab. Spacefm will mount them automatically. This has been solved as you s...

Here is another option: http://www.wifislax.com/category/download/nuevas-versiones/ But it's only KDE (no way) or XFCE (maybe - I use a number of modular XFCE apps on openbox anyway). They are in Spain and their website is in Spanish but that's no problem for me (I'm in Mexico). Liberada version fin...

Boot Slackel Live Openbox 6.0 from usb Do I really need that? I have slackellive-openbox-6.0-64.iso which I burned to a usb flash drive using unetbootin and used that to install Slackel with no bootloader to the hard drive of a desktop computer that has no optical disk drive, and did that without a...

Try the Salix xfce 14.1 Live beta (search the forum to find the announcement) just to see if the kernel that ships with Salix 14.1 supports your hardware. If it does, then you can be confident in installing Salix 14.1 Openbox. Liveclone is not applicable because it is not a Live - just for installa...

I believe that method should work just as well with OPenbox. Unetbootin won't help at all though. I'd say an official Live CD for SAlix 14.1 Openbox is a distant prospect at the moment. The kernel is (from memory) 3.10.17). However, you may be interested in trying Slackel Openbox Live, which has be...

As an Openbox user on other bases (Debian & Arch) with a high regard for Slackware derivitives (Porteus, Slacko, Slackel), I downloaded the 64 bit 14.1 iso with the intention of testing it on a Lenovo ThinkPad W520 which fails to connect to WiFi with Manjarobox (but can do so with the XFCE DE an...
