Hi Tim, I will put something together for the wiki over the next week or so, time permitting. I am thinking that a "proscribed testing schedule" will just put people off - and it appears that there aren't that many to begin with - so I will concentrate on simple steps any user can take to ...

Hi, I am not the most organised person in the world, so I like working to a plan. I searched the Salix web-site for a plan/guidelines/article/note on what you want beta-testers to accomplish for each release, but I found nothing. I guess the assumption is that someone who is prepared to beta test kn...

OK, I've been testing out the 64bit RC by doing the following: 1 Compiling software outside of the slackbuild system (i.e configure, make, make install) 2. Installing multilib (via djemos script) 3. Removing multilib (via a third party script) 4 Repeating 2 and 3 via various methods including manual...

I installed RC1 on an iMac with non-efi boot option (it was running Slackware64 14.0) Install was flawless. My preferred set of software tools is installed. My email is up an running. In short, excellent RC, and I plan on using it as my desktop for the foreseeable future. Thank you all for your effo...

PS Samsungs Magician software adds a nice GUI to stuff that is generally available from your OS. Might be worth a look, if only for interests sake.

Hi mimosa, Yes, you would see the lilo menu if you left the menu on (as per the default), but simply tell lilo to boot into the default immediately and the effect is as if there is a slightly longer boot sequence. I use this method on a laptop with 7 partitions on it - the first is nothing more than...

Hi, I am using google translate, as I do not speak French, but I think I understand your question. On /dev/sda1 you have your default Salix/linux setup On /dev/sdb1 you have your second Salix/linux setup To boot either, add the following paragraph to the bottom of your /etc/lilo.conf on /dev/sda1 ot...

Hi djemos,
Agreed. After memtest86 did 4 passess it reported one error, so that's enough for me. Replacement ram has been ordered. HDD will be checked after ram replaced.

Cheers,
Shane.
