Eventually, although i do not think so, is there something i could/should do in "etc/fstab" ? I don't think so either. After all of this, can you see the stick at all in gparted now? I did come across a USB stick recently that was used as installation media for Ubuntu, and was formatted w...

A) Not as far as I know
B) Gapan was kind enough to package a couple of 4* series kernels, if you're looking for something newer. See the contributed packages section http://forum.salixos.org/viewforum.php?f=20

I have found a quote from Jane Austen that suits your situation perfectly:

Salix I mean. Not dogs doodahs.

Thanks gapan! Supports my Z97-E motherboard well. After installing Salix and these kernel packages, I compiled the latest Nvidia kernel module/drivers, and had to perform a couple of extra steps which I'm listing below for anyone else in the same situation. These instructions refer to a fresh instal...

You didn't mention how your machine connects to your network (wired/wireless?) but ifconfig -a should list any active or inactive network interfaces connected to your system. If it was seeing them before, and now it's not seeing any, it indicates to me that possibly your hardware is faulty. I wonder...

Ah, OK. That's good to know. Thanks!

Indeed there is already a rule ( /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ) which specifies NAME="eth1". So that explains it!

So far so good, hopefully there won't be any nasty surprises as current is a bit of a pain to keep up with.

Personally I don't see why installing 14.1 shouldn't work so long as I use their updated installer, and their newer RPi2 kernel, but what do I know?! I'll give it a go and see. After performing the previous operations with 14.1 instead of 'current', it boots... network didn't come up after installa...

Thanks for the tips! You can probably use the *settings* packages as well, so configuration will match that of Salix. We also have a slackwarearm repo that includes dependency information: http://download.salixos.org/arm/slackwarearm-14.1/ (should also be in every other mirror too). If you compile s...

Hi! I've been playing with a couple raspberry pi 2's, on which I've installed slackwarearm-current following the guide at http://rpi2.fatdog.eu/ . I really like them, much more usable than the older B+ model with another 3 cores and 1GB ram. To automate the process and approximate a Salix 'core' ins...
