Not so much a problem, more of a rant. I've never used flatpaks or any other system that mimics Windows, so this was my first experience. I installed Wine. The download was 1200 MB — I could hardly believe it, since that was almost 10 times the Debian package. After making sure that it worked, for ...

Questions and suggestions are welcome.

NOTE: initially the process also allowed to also build an ISO able to install Salix or Slackware. This attracted few interest so for now the script can only build an ISO to install Slint version 15.0.

You need to install the kernel-source package first (I forgot because in Slint that I maintain it is installed by default).
instructions here: https://docs.salixos.org/faq/kernel-source/

But if you just installed Salix you got a kernel version 5.15.63 and a kernel source package at the ...

Welcome to Salix.

There is no acpi-call-dkms package available, but you can build and install an acpi_call package typing: Caveat: no dkms, so you will need to rebuild a package in case you install a new kernel.

After installation read: /usr/doc/acpi_call*/README.md

That is nice.

Yes. The Slackware 15 is more than 3 years old. Anybody knows if Slackware 16 is over the ...

Follow up of this message: an adapted Slint installer can now install Salix

The installation ISO is available here.

To know more read the files INSTALL and README in the same directory.

Of course ISO unofficial and not endorsed (yet?) by Salix.

Comments welcome!

Have fun

Thanks Hugo, appreciated!

Thanks also to Ingemar who completed his translations !

Thanks for your kind words George.

However this post in LQ triggered zero answer :( Maybe I should have posted this in a new thread but I'm afraid this would trigger mostly negative reactions.

On the other hand we could do something similar for Salix, with the advantage of an easier integration ...

An ISO image allowing to install Slackware64-15.0 using an installer almost identical to the Slint one, so translations will benefit users of both distributions here: https://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/sl....0/slintslack/

But there are additional benefits for Slackware users, as stated in this ...

You can get it here.

Main new feature: users can choose to install initially MATE and/or LXQt i3 and/or i3.

These graphical environments can also be added after installation as well as XFCE.

There are a few new messages so please translators update your translations of auto.pot.
