Does anyone have a set of tagfiles for installing a stripped down Slackware 12.1.
Offline
Hi,
Here are mine: tagfiles-eee. (fluxbox and firefox only)
Get the fonts-base on Zenwalk repository: xorg-fonts-base
I use Slackware-current. You can get the ISO files from http://slackware.no
And i use an USB installer (usbboot.img). Look here.
EDIT:
Slackware-current on EeePC - basic install
============================
1- Your USB stick should be FAT16 or FAT32
mounting USB stick (for me)
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
2- usbboot.img
mount -o loop usbboot.img /mnt/temp
cd /mnt/temp
cp -R * /mnt/sda1
mkdir /mnt/sda1/slackware
cd /
umount /mnt/temp
3- CD1
mount -o loop slackware-current-24_Jun_2008-disc1.iso /mnt/temp/
cd /mnt/temp
cp -R /mnt/temp/slackware/{a,l,n,xap} /mnt/sda1/slackware
cp PACKAGES.TXT /mnt/sda1/slackware/
cd /
umount /mnt/temp
4- CD2
mount -o loop slackware-current-24_Jun_2008-disc2.iso /mnt/temp/
cd /mnt/temp
cp /mnt/temp/slackware/{ap,x} /mnt/sda1/slackware
cd /
umount /mnt/temp
5- CD3
mount -o loop slackware-current-24_Jun_2008-disc3.iso /mnt/temp/
cd /mnt/temp
cp /mnt/temp/slackware/d /mnt/sda1/slackware
cd /
umount /mnt/temp
6- Tagfiles
wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/box/slack … eee.tar.gz
tar -xvvzf tagfiles-eee.tar.gz -C /mnt/sda1
7- Syslinux
N.B. files from slax-6.0.7
wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/box/slack … ootinst.sh (modified script for slack)
wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/box/slack-current/lilo
wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/box/slack-current/mbr.bin
wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/box/slack … t/syslinux
cp bootinst.sh /mnt/sda1
cp lilo /mnt/sda1
cp mbr.bin /mnt/sda1
cp syslinux /mnt/sda1
cd /mnt/sda1
### make USB stick bootable
./bootinst.sh
Voilà! You have an USB-installer
8- Booting the USB-installer from eeepc
choice hugesmp.s kernel
logging at root user
setup
ctrl-alt-f2
cd /
mkdir /sda1
mount /dev/sda1 /sda1
ctrl-alt-f1
pre-mounted directory: /sda1/slackware
tagpath: /sda1/tagfiles
9- After installation
installpkg xorg-fonts-base-7.3.2-i486-54.2.tgz
10- Post-installation
edit /etc/lilo.conf
edit /etc/fstab
mv /var/log/{packages,removed_packages,removed_scripts,scripts,setup} /var/plog
makepkg pkgtools-eee for maintenance under /var/plog (create from another PC, not under eeePC)
edit xorg.conf, look here http://wiki.eeeuser.com/slax6#xorg.conf
install xf86-input-synaptics, rox-filer
touchpad, look here http://wiki.eeeuser.com/slax6#touchpad
atl2,atheros-madwifi,asus_acpi,linux-uvc,hotkeys (compilation from another PC, not under eeePC)
etc ...

I tried to find answers in other forums, but I can't get the atl2 to work. My kernel is 2.6.24.5-smp
e.g. http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=34337
root@EEEPC:~/Desktop/drivers/src# make install > log.txt scripts/Makefile.build:46: *** CFLAGS was changed in "/root/Desktop/drivers/src/Makefile". Fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS. Stop. make[1]: *** [_module_/root/Desktop/drivers/src] Error 2 make: *** [default] Error 2
Here is the output of make install inside of the src directory. Can you make something out of it?
I guess, the driver doesn't match the kernel. But anyway, it could be something very stupid, since I haven't grown out of the noob stage yet.
How did you get your atl2 working?
Thanks a lot!

Hi stowoda,
Look here for to compile howto. It's in french (sorry) but it's easy to understand. Look the source code only:

alisou, 
EDIT:
here is my atl2.ko file:

enjoy!

Hi Alisou,
Thank you very much. However, I just switched to Xubuntu. I am not ready for slackware, yet ...
One last question, (a very noob one). Is it possible to use a driver compiled under slackware for another distribution like xubuntu?
Thank you,
Peter
