Re: SOLVED: Can't boot Salix -Openbox-14.1 on AMD K6-2 machi

Roky, would it be possible to boot antix 15 (obviously on a pc where it boots), compile the latest stable kernel (make debs or just install it in live), then remaster so that this kernel is a boot option or default in live? Maybe too much to ask but .. The OP is not really computer savvy. Just lear...

Re: Can't boot Salix -Openbox-14.1 on AMD K6-2 machines

Late to the party here. I've been assisting the OP at Linux Questions Org. But with AntiX and Wary. Not Salix. The main issue on his gear is his i586 only cpu. Maybe the cdrom drive is starting to get flaky from age. But he installed a couple of Linux installs on it already. I talked with Anticapita...

Re: Sudden loss of sound

I'd try

Code: Select all

play <name of music file>
Just to see if sound works OK and not a application is blocking/breaking it. Any error messages may help you out also.

Re: How to progress from computer user to sysadmin-poweruser

Though I had no interest in it. I just went out of politeness because I was asked. I got a feeling I already know you from the Mepis forums? Story time. Might help. Might not. Because it may bring up ideas you may not have thought of. By word of mouth. My City Manager in my small town offered me the...

Re: SalixOS Speed

I run the fluxbox version to keep my older gear relevant. The kernel has no effect on the bloat or speed my netbook. But the internet bloat. That is another story in itself. Maybe I am off base here. Maybe the team here can cater to your needs. My Question: a) How did you tune Slackware kernel to ga...

Re: Install without CD?

It doesn't work. I downloaded the iso, did the "dd" command as per the instructions on the one link above, but nothing happens when I try to boot from the usb. I don't know if there's more to it. Or maybe I need to try a live version instead. Maybe my intro thread may help or not http://f...
