Thanks again gaucho,
have not installed yet think i'll give lxde a try first.
I have salix xfce installed on another machine and it's working fine.
I already have my partitioning done though.
XFCE fonts looked terrible on this machine LXDE is much better in that department.
Cheers,
Dave

Thanks gaucho,
That cheat code did the trick. now writing this on the live xfce cd in the Nvidia machine. will try it out a little and if all is well will install.
Thanks again.

Your video card is probably not compatible with the nouveau driver that is being used by default. It will probably work just fine if you install the proprietary nvidia driver. Thanks gapan, I believe your right. but the nouveau driver has always worked on this machine before so just thought that so...

having a problem with the live cd xfce it boots to a very garbled desktop. Can't read a thing on it.
Machine is Amd Atholon II with Nvidia Geforce Cuda video chip. Geforce 6150se Nforce 430

any help reluctant to do and install if video is a problem. Thanks

Did you already find slapt-src and sourcery?

no didn't yet but will look that up Thanks - Dave

Thanks for the Welcome gaucho, I'll read over the links you gave. I've used about every distro out there over the years Started out way back in 1993 with Slackware believe it or not and so this is a coming back to that of sorts Find Salix OS very easy to learn and get going. Have got one machine up ...

Just thought I'd say Hello,
firs time Salix user here.
but have used slackware before the install went very well and I'm finding my way around.
Looks very good so far.
Think I will enjoy Salix.
Thanks to all the Dev's
