I must confess to install amd driver for Slackel, not for Salix. But in installation instructions there are described some dependencies, but packages I cannot find. Has anybody amd driver installed? Is it possible to install amd driver in Slackel? Thank you.

I would like to know how to create symlink in slackware. Thank you.

The same as in any other Linux:

ln -s path/to/what/you-want-to-link-to path/to/symlink

see man ln

I always get the arguments the wrong way round.

I went through man ln. But I don't know location of symlink, Where should be?

Sorry, but this is an invalid question. You should know what you want to symlink and where to symlink it to.

To put it another way, why do you want to create a symlink? Does it have something to do with the video driver?
