Slackel KDE 4.14.18
Posted: 12 May 2016 17:24
Slackel KDE 4.14.18 has been released. Slackel is based on Slackware and Salix.
There are four iso images two installation iso and two live iso (64 and 32 bit)
The 64-bit iso images support booting on UEFI systems.
The 32-bit iso images support both i686 PAE SMP and i486, non-PAE capable systems.
Iso images are isohybrid.
Some of the software programs included in the iso images:
Linux kernel 4.4.9
Mail clients: Thundrbird 45.0, kmail
Internet: Firefox 45.1.1esr, Filezilla-3.16.1, gftp-2.0.19, Pidgin-2.10.12, Akregator, ktorrent-4.3.1, wicd-1.7.4, sourcery, slapt-get and its graphical frontend Gslapt
Graphics: Gimp-2.8.16, Gwenview-4.14.3, KColorChooser-4.14.3, kolourpaint-4.14.3, KSnapshot-4.14.3
Multimedia: Smplayer-16.4.0, MPlayer-1.2_20160125, Clementine-1.3.1, dragon-4.14.3 media player , kaudiocreator-1.3, k3b-2.0.3
Office: Libreoffice-5.1.2, Okular-4.14.3
Other: Openjre-8u91-b14, rhino, icedtea-web.
On Slackel repositories there is inkscape-0.91, shotwell-0.22, mozilla-firefox-noesr-46.0.1, google-chrome 50.0.2661.86, skype-nomultilib-4.3.0.37 which run in 64bit without the need of installing multilib, skype-4.3.0.37 for 32 bit and many more.
Installation on EFI GPT partitions is also supported for 64bit iso images. In this case you have to create a gpt partition table with gparted and the first partition, the EFI partition, has to be at least 300MB fat32. A second partition with the same size as your system memory for swap and a third one for your linux system. If you want a separate partition for home then create another one. After creation you have to flag the first partition bootable. This make it EFI. (EF00) And then proceed with installation.
NOTE:if you choose grub then the partition cannot be in xfs filesystem because system will not boot after installation, as grub does not support xfs properly. If you want to use xfs as your filesystem you must also use the eLilo boot loader.
Installation isos:
The ncurses installer includes the option to install Grub or (e)Lilo boot loader.
Live isos:
The graphical Slackel-live-installer also includes the option to install Grub which is the default and (e)lilo boot loader.
If you want to transfer the iso to a USB stick, make sure you read the respective instructions in this file:
http://www.slackel.gr/isos/slackel-live ... ON_USB.TXT
You can also use the dd command to write the iso to a USB stick, but some features like persistence, will not be available.
If you are booting with persistence, the very first time the live system will boot will take a while. This is because the persistence file is created at that point and that is somehow a lengthy process. However, the system will boot much faster at every consecutive boot.
I suggest users to not boot with persistence for the first time.
It is better to use the script to create a persistent file. And in next boot to use persistence.
(The root password for the live CD is “live”. Standard super user login is “one” with password: "one")
For installation and for all work required administration privileges the super user "one" with password "one" is used.
For detecting printers and scanners. Add user one to lp group. Log out and log in again.
Minimum system requirements:
* Pentium 2 or equivalent
* At least 1GB - 2GB is better (RAM)
* 9 GB HDD
