how to do VPN client connection with Wicd?
it looks like Wicd does not support VPN yet.

I hv nm-applet (network-manager) installed.
But unable to add VPN connect.
ADD button is inactive.

I've never used it, but you probably need NetworkManager-openvpn. Find it in sourcery.

Installed network manager and its applet .
instead of wicd.
Installed openvpn package too.

But still, I can not add VPN connection in nw-applet.
Add button for VPN connection is not active.

VPN is an important part of Desktop OS.
Salix developers' help requested....

Here How I solved:
I compiled source code of "NetworkManager-openvpn" directly from gnome.org
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/ ... envpn/0.9/
it went all OK, but ADD button is not activated !!!
And ofcourse, package did not appear on Gslapt...

I got the slackbuild script at below url
http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.0/ ... r-openvpn/
installed .tgz file with instalpkg.
it worked without reboot. and package appeared on Gslapt.

Hello Andyun

it was my mistake in previous text.
Actually, I had gotten the the script at the url u mentioned
and downloaded the source code from gnome.
