Salix Forums

Hi,

I'm a former slackware user and current zenwalker that was sold on the "backwards compatible" feature of Salix, so I decided to try it out. I installed the latest ISO - RC3 (from http://enialis.net/~jrd) as I'm obsessed with latest releases, but as it wasn't announced anywhere maybe these problems do not apply to other releases.

Anyways, I had a couple of minor issues with it. First I tried the basic install, but the network didn't work not even with netconfig. The full installation worked just fine, though. After the installation there is a "confirmation needed" prompt for LiloSetup that gets stuck after I confirm it. Also, the lilosetup didn't have the option to "edit configuration", the button doesn't work at all. As I can't boot without "compact" mode I changed lilosetup.py to add it for me. That's pretty much it.

Overall, I'm really happy with Salix and I'm looking forward for the new release. Thanks!

Hi mimix

This is odd.. What did you mean by doesn't work at all? Did it get ungreyed at all? Or else did it get ungreyed but still did not respond?

Also, I'd be interested to see you lilosetup.py modififcations, could you send me a copy?

Yes, it was ungreyed, but clicking on it just had no effect, nothing happened.

I just added stub.write("compact") after the line "stub.write("boot = "... directly on the script, as I couldn't find lilo.conf anywhere. Well, I figure it now that if I copy the generated lilosetup.conf to /etc/lilo.conf it works just as well...

Oh my!!! Confirmed here, it's quite a regression, thanks for catching it.

Oh... I get it now Sorry you had to do that gymnastics. Fix will come shortly.

Somewhere along the line it looks like I erased its signal from the glade file
