SETTING UP A SLACKWARE WORKSTATION

UTF-8

vi /etc/lilo.conf

image = /vmlinuz
  root = /dev/sda1
  label = linux5511
  append = "vt.default_utf8=1 mitigations=off"
  #ipv6.disable=1
  read-only

vi /etc/profile.d/lang.sh

export LANG=en_US.utf8

DESKTOP INSTALLATION

installation may be a bit different for that purpose: all sets but

• no emacs
• no kde*
• no xfce
• no games
• keep some space free to play with LVM as for datalv vs homelv
• UTF-8 console YES
• gpm YES

proceed with the server setup first, and then

DESKTOP POST-INSTALL

useradd -m -g users -G wheel ADMINUSER
vi /etc/sudoers #enable wheel
passwd ADMINUSER
vi /etc/lilo.conf # lba32 and 30 deciseconds

# not required anymore since slackware 15.0
#git config --global --replace-all core.pager 'less -r'

and more generally

• sysprep/ utf8
• sysprep/ ipv6 ok

LibreOffice from Bob

no need for that anymore, sbo has the same version (Mar 2020 - 6.2.8)

#mkdir -p /tftpboot/slackware142bob/libreoffice/pkg64/
#cd /tftpboot/slackware142bob/libreoffice/pkg64/
#lftp -c "open http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/libreoffice/pkg64; mirror -c 14.2"

#installpkg pkg64/libreoffice*.txz
