Thank you so much. That explains all very well.

That install was for the computer of my wife where I changed
from slackel-kde to openbox. She surely will like it. It will be
easier for her. A great box.

I installed openbox-7.0 on a hard drive from the USB stick. I choose lilo as boot loader and the installation turned error. Next try I choose grub and installation succeeded. I am not familiar with grub. Checking for upgrade it showed more than a 100. I proceeded with upgrading and first upgraded gl...

Just this morning I had the same problem upgrading with gslapt. It aborted when it came to util-linux. After that I could not give any commands since it said libtinfo.so.6 cannot be found. Dirty reboot. Booting failed, could not find libtinfo. Sweated quite a bit. Then, eureka, made a symlink libncu...

Slackel-Live-KDE 64 bit

I just had for one week no Internet connection and found that "mc" does not
open at all without such a connection. Typing "mc" in terminal it will just sit
forever with no indication what is happening.

If I start simple-...

Made upgrade including to kernel 4.4.16. Good woman likes it. Only one sour note: ;) I cannot add the cannon printer si...

I am trying to install Slackel-KD64 to my wife's Samsung computer which has been running on Knoppix-7.6 sucessfully. Installing when it comes to format and I OK on quick format it goes on and on. I aborted and it said it formated reiserfs instead of ext4 which I asked. It seems this computer is some...
