!CHEER!

Fine, don't thank the guy who has no life and refreshes the changelog daily and informed you about it. He doesn't mind at all; he has no feelings .

Let me know how it handles WINE.

The best of both worlds.. power struggle.

What's all this sticky white shit on the thread?

Ewwwwww

It's really not that big of a deal to me.  I'm content with Slackware 10.2, and I'm not in a rush to update. 

If, however, I need to re-load one of my computers (which I'm actually planning on doing to my laptop, soon), I'll use Slackware 11.  But not until then.

Hahahahahah!

Cool.  I downloaded the three install disks and the DVD ISO.

Likewise. I think of all the extra work I have to do to install my 300gb harddrive and am content with my setup right now.

Is this your external hard drive?

I still need to set up my RAID in Linux.  I'm sure there's a workaround without the 2.6 kernel, but all of the pages I found explaining the linux installation of the RAID controller I have require the 2.6 kernel.

I noticed that they said there were "more options" with the 2.6 kernel.  Does this mean you can install it in place of 2.4 without all the hassle of setting it up after the slackware install?

There's a Slackware kernel designed for RAID.  It worked perfeclty.  It's a 2.4 kernel, obviously.  It's called "raid" I think.

That's a tricky one to answer. 

First, by "more options", they mean that you can use 2.6.17.something (which is in the /extras folder) or 2.6.18 (which is in the /testing folder). 

Second, you could always install the 2.6 kernel at the start.  I forget how, though..

Yeah, but I have to use sata.i to have the installer detect the drive I want it to install Slackware to.

I was wondering if they added an intuitive way to accomplish the recommendation in your second sentence.

Nothing is intuitive.  RTFM.
