yea, im aware that i can use the slackware repo. but since slacware doesnt do dev packages, the packages can be bloated for what most users need. while it will work, id rather build the packages in a way thats more in line with the puppy creedo.jamesbond wrote: Q5sys, before you burn your time building those packages, it is worthwhile to check what slackware already has, I think things like sysstat and traceroute is already there. Go and get http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/ ... NIFEST.bz2 and it will show you which package contains the file; alternatively, boot to Slackbones and use "slackpkg --file-search xxxx" to search for a package that contains xxxx.
im sure ill grab some packages, but others ill rebuild myself.
if you are asking if this has 32bit compatibility built in, the answer is no. you could build this in using aliens multi-lib stuff, but im not going there for the official release.koulaxizis wrote:Can i work a 32bit distro on this?
