You can load the btrfs kernel module and install the btrfs-progs package. Be warned that btrfs is not yet ready for production use.sphere wrote:No BTRFS support?
Re: Salix Xfce 13.37
The tools are in the initrd, it's just the format options aren't listed in the installer. Exit the installation, create your btrfs filesystem then run 'setup' again.
I still have a few minor fixes ('cancel' not cancelling mostly) to do on the installer as well as adding pxesetup (if I ever get around to that) so I'll try to remember to merge the btrfs option from the Slackware SeTpartitions script at the same time.

Great work! Installed it yesterday. iBus works great (till now...).
I noticed that we lost the opportunity to change the HD when installing. I mean, it saw both my HDs, but as soon as I chose one, I was not able to check the geometry to verify if it was the right one and then go back to choose the other one. I was pretty sure about it (don't want to erase the one with Windoze and NetBSD, yet), but as the other version I tried (13.1) did not had this behaviour, I found that strange...
Anyway, keep going, guys! My next adventure will be installing some tools, probably also TeX Live 2010, will post my impressions!

This is excactly what I did, set up my partitions in gparted (sys rescue cd) and ran the installer without formatting anything. At bootup, I get a prompt for maintainance password because fsck.btrfs is not found.pwatk wrote:The tools are in the initrd, it's just the format options aren't listed in the installer.

How can I install btrfs-progs now? Can I use the systemrescuecd to chroot to my salix installation and install btrfs-progs from slapt-get?
If so, any tips to commands?

Re: Salix Xfce 13.37
Thank you for the new release. But what about:
1. LXDE - how to install that desktop even if it must be taken from previous Salix i.e. 13.1
2. Is VirtualBox package to be included in Gslapt in nearest future?
3. It seems to me the system now needs a little bit more time to start-up
I used Salix OS from the first version - just for LXDE and VirtualBox (they were easy to run on Salix and very hard to run on oryginal Slackware)
