Slackware 12.2 for the WebDT366
Posted: Sat May 30, 2009 9:35 pm
Hello all,
I took a break to get myself moved to a new location. Here is a new image that I have been working on for a little while. I am not saying that this is complete however I am releasing it with intentions of moving on. Slackware 13.0 is on the horizon and that will be a little more advantageous than 12.2 for the WebDT. That being said please consider this 12.2 image for your DT as it really packs a lot of function.

Screen calibration is accomplished with:
"sudo gCal 4|9|25"
I prefer the 25 point calibration as it gives the most complete calibration.
Items that could use polishing in this image are the wireless configs in rc.d. I tried to script a network autologin without using wicd but later gave in and installed wicd. The files I changed cause a slight pause within init. Cisco 350 cards do not take out of the box. This will require tweaking. Lastly usb does not automount for some reason.
I left out blueman for two reasons. The blueman project has yet to respond to my bug reports on blueman-0.19 not working right in debian. Two, they do not offer a Slackware build.
If you would like to see a gui for connecting to and pairing bluetooth devices please consider taking the time to post on the www.blueman-project.org forums and ask that support be made available for different distributions.
Due to some politics going on in freedesktop.org and some recent changes made by HAL odd things are going on in linux. The Pcmanfm project sent me a letter recently asking for a vote. It seems that these HAL changes are forcing developers to use either Gnome or KDE dependencies to build upon. In particular how volumes and devices are mounted.
As freedesktop.org's chairs are mostly gnome and kde developers this comes as no surprise. If you care about lightweight linux consider taking the time to let the blueman project or freedestop.org know that gnome and KDE dependencies are too heavy for the majority of portable devices. Including the DT.
