Hello, forum members,

The SalixLive Xfce 15.0 edition ( https://salixos.org/download.html ) uses a different installer than the standard [non-live] Salix 15.0 installer.

SalixLive uses a GUI installer called SLI (the "Salix Live Installer"). SalixLive includes a "Startup Guide," written by djemos ...

gaucho, Very good job.
I checked the links in the end and this link do not work.


Hi, djemos,

Thank you for taking the time to look over the guide -- especially since you are one of the Salix experts. :)

I will figure out why I got that link incorrect, will fix it and then upload a revised ...

Hello, Didier,

Yes, I would be happy to produce a version of the TL guide without images for your friend. But I am not sure of the best way to do this ... I can think of a few options:

Hi, Papasot,

You're welcome! I'm glad that you found it useful.

Hello, forum members,

I have a fresh installation of Salix 15.0 Xfce on one of our desktop PCs, so I got the urge to experiment with installing TeX Live 2024 via an ISO image. (This is the first time that I've done it in several years, as I have been using Overleaf online.)

In case you're ...

Hello, Forum members,

I recently compiled the latest stable version (2.0.5) of Grisbi from source. (The version of Grisbi in the official Salix repositories is rather old [1.2.2] -- as is the SlackBuild -- and there is not a Flatpak available).
