After making the first Slackware image for the DT I wanted to do better. This edition includes MadWifi drivers for those of you who got your DT's without networking cards. Also this edition features the IceWm window manager. Its very light weight and has a start button. On a touch screen right click is hard to do and many of the light weight window managers in linux require a right click. Hopefully you find it easy to use.
Included software:
Firefox
VLC
BitchX
Gftp
Leafpad
Tuxpaint
Galculator
Xpad
Xmahjongg
gCalib
Nano
Pcmanfm
Xvkbd
I am hoping that someone can post a tutorial on how to make symbolic links and link directories to a compact flash card. There is only 50 mb left on the drive and I cringe thinking about how fast that can go. Please use your space wisely!
There is a "README!!" file in the home folder. Please read it. It has your password and login information among other things.
The installation and networking instructions from the first slackware image will work on this one. This image is a .img file made with the dd tool. Here is a link:

This was not easy to do, at all. In 500mb it was impossible for me to find a wifi utility. If you happen to get one installed and working please let us know about it. If anyone has interest in upping their memory to 1gb let me know. I can make a much more feature filled operating system in 1gb.

Like anything I have two thing that I forgot to do on this, possibly three.
1.) configure alsa.
No problem as root run this command in a terminal:
Code: Select all
alsaconf
2.) To reduce the timing on the lilo boot loader we must do the following:
Code: Select all
su
Code: Select all
webdt
Code: Select all
nano /etc/lilo.conf
save file to /etc/lilo.conf
Code: Select all
liloconfig
Inspect or view your existing config to verify the changes you made. Enter to continue.
Then reinstall lilo to the mbr with the existing config by choosing "recycle". Upon reinstalling you should see a 5 second time out at the lilo loader screen the next time you reboot.
3.) Automount. Thank you alienBOB!
Errors will pop up on usb mounted devices when you attempt to access them. This is easy to correct. We simply need to add the "webdt" user to the group "plugdev". Start xterm and become sudo:
Code: Select all
usermod -g plugdev webdt
Thank you alienBOB.
