Slefika 12.0 installation instructions ====================================== (note, currently only 11.0 works, 12.0 is on my TODO) How to do it: Download slefika-installer-0.1 and boot it (via network/tftp, usb key...), then follow the installer. Shouldn't be a problem if you are familiar with Slackware. You also need to manualy copy zImage.slefika somewhere (root partition?), and point boot loader to it. (ie. "boot hd:0 /boot/zImage.efika root=/dev/sda1", where hd:0 is your drive and partition containing zImage and /dev/sda1 is root partition) Booting in short: Efika.readme.pdf from efika.info describes this in a bit more detail. In short, via network: boot eth:[tftp server ip],[file name],[your ip] [file name again] [arg] and from hd, usb key etc.: boot hd0:1 boot/[file name] [arg] If you want to boot with serial console add "console=ttyPSC0" to [arg]. Changes from tukaani-installer-0.8.3-i486.iso's initrd: - binaries exchanged with powerpc ones. - added: /bin/lspci /usr/share/pci.ids /sbin/e2fsck /sbin/resize2fs /usr/share/terminfo/v/vt100 libdl, libm, libcurses... needed by some util, i think - updated udev /etc/rc.d/rc.S changes *udev* files changed - deleted pcmcia related stuff /etc/rc.d/rc.S changes - /init instead of /linuxrc, since we're dealing with initramfs not initrd - removed rpc.portmap - why? it might be needed for NFS install. who cares? - /usr/lib/setup/ - some script changes, see diffs - removed modules... put 'everything' in kernel - disabled keyboard layout selection, because loadkeys doesn't work properly Thanks go to: - Slackware folks for such a great distribution. - Tukaani folks for making Slackware even better with lzma compressed packages and network based installation. In case you are having problems you can bug me at . Domen
