so, you just want the contents of the live iso copied to a ext3(?) USB that is using Grub legacy to boot? please clarify? thx EDIT: I am actually making a remaster kit for Slackware/Salix 13.37 with either the 2.6.37.6 kernel or the 2.6.38.4 kernel. The kits make a bootable live media just like Slax...

uh, yeah I do have slackpkg and sbopkg installed...
dont know if that would be it?

I am trying to upgrade my PocketWriter Salix 13.1.2 to 13.37
The new PocketWriter uses 2.6.38.5 kernel and xz compression (.xzm)
http://multidistro.com/

so, sooner or later I gotta upgrade to 13.37....

Yes, you are right!
But, I did the test upgrad across 3 different 13.1 Salix installs and it did not upgrade Xorg in any of them for some reason...?

Everything else though seems OK and works:)
Thanks everyone, Thenktor, mimosa, laprjns!

thanks guys I followed the Wiki article for two 13.1 installs and same result: X won't start doing startx or trying to run GDM results in this Xorg error log X.Org X Server 1.7.7 Release Date: 2010-05-04 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Slackware 13.1 Slackware Linux Project...

Was wondering if there are any potential issues when upgrading Salix 13.1 to 13.37?
I removed aaa-elflibs, etc from the blocked packages and am upgrading everything via Gslapt using the 13.37 repo.

Hopefully everything will go well:)

I would try CTKArchlive

hey garby here's the kernel config http://multidistro.com/Kernels/2.6.37/config-2.6.37-smp here's the kernel, firmware, and modules as pkgs, kernel http://multidistro.com/Kernels/2.6.37/kernel-huge-smp-2.6.37_smp-i686-2l.txz modules http://multidistro.com/Kernels/2.6.37/kernel-modules-smp-2.6.37_smp...

Hope this info helps some :shock: I have compiled a live 2.6.37 kernel for my Salix based PocketWriter build and would gladly share the .config,etc with you? http://multidistro.com/downloads.html Alos, you may have to add libcgroup from Slackware -current??? not sure but I added it to mine.... http:...

Great work Akuna and Salix team!

One question though; would this work on a slackware -current setup or must it be a Salix host system?
Thanks

Thanks JRD But, there are no headers available for 2.6.37 for Salix right? Would I first compile the kernel using 2.6.33.4 headers, then do make headers_install (and install kernel/modules, firmware), reboot off new 2.6.37 kernel, then re-compile it again using the new 2.6.37 headers? Last night I m...
