Slackel 7.0 Openbox
Re: Slackel 7.0 Openbox
Great stuff, djemos!
Re: Slackel 7.0 Openbox
Upgraded to 7.0. All went smooth.
Does it make sense to put kernel-4.9.30-* into Salix and slackware?

Re: Slackel 7.0 Openbox
However, I seem to remember there was some problem with that kernel, that is, a general problem; I'm no longer sure what. On my main machine, I therefore have a slightly more recent one. I'm on the road at the moment, and reinstalled 14.2 on my laptop. I'm running it with the latest kernel from current, but perhaps in would be wise to downgrade.

Well, only you can tell. However having both kernels installed (4.4.38 and 4.9.30 at time of writing) wouldn't hurt just in case, if you have enough space on a mass storage device.On my main machine, I therefore have a slightly more recent one.

I use Slackel 7.0 already (most of my computers have both Salix and Slackel installed). I just upgraded older Slackel installations - in one case, I installed the new version from scratch. It just works great.
Thank you, djemos!

A pleasant detail in this forum: several people pick a picture of their pet as their avatar. Who am I to do otherwise?

IMPORTANT:
1. Because of a bug in install_on_usb.sh script the size of EFI partition, in a ext3 formatted USB stick, is smaller than the real size is needed. So download this updated version of the install_on_usb.sh script and use it to complete the installation in usb.
2. For users want to use the GUI installer to install the iso on usb have to download and install this new version of slackware-live.
Or run these commands to do it without download the file.
And next can run the gui installer.

Re: Slackel 7.0 Openbox
Just installed on a virtual machine and the first thing that caught my eye - it says that it is version 6.7.
Did I understand correctly that Slackel can only be installed on ext3?
