Thanks, some of topics referred to as chapters can be linked to appropriate wiki articles. --- //[[v.harishankar@gmail.com|Harishankar]] 2012/08/20 03:47// ------ Perhaps, the parts showing Slackware installation output should be wrapped in the code tags (or something similar). It doesn't read well. Especially the Booting the installer section. For a new user it **might** not be clear whether it's the author's comment or the installer output. --- //[[sycamorex|sycamorex]] 21/08/2012 21:59// ------ Please pay attention to create all pages copied from the Slackware Book in the **slackbook:** namespace... not in the "slackware:" namespace \\ --- --- //[[wiki:user:alienbob|Eric Hameleers]] 2012/08/21 14:18// ------ Would it not be better to create a fdisk example with sectors? --- //[[whizje@gmail.com|Whiz]] 25/08/2012 00:02// =====Real screenshots? ===== Wouldn't it be a good idea to use real screenshots instead of B&W images?

Translations of the Slack Book should go into the associated language namespace - for instance "slackbook:install" should be translated in Spanish as "es:slackbook:install" or else our Wiki's language system will not be able to work out if a page is available in more than one language. \\ This page, **slackware:install** , seems to have large parts copied verbatim from the Slack Book. Or was the Slack Book page on installation using [[wiki:user:kikinovak|kikinovak]]'s text? I think we need kikinovak to tell us. If this Wiki page actually was derived from the Slack Book then it needs to be moved to the **slackbook:** namespace. \\ --- //[[wiki:user:alienbob|Eric Hameleers]] 2012/08/26 14:22// ===== Page contents and community revisions===== Restored the document to match the slackbook --- //[[wiki:user:mfillpot|Matthew Fillpot]] 2012/09/05 19:18// ---- The four detailed press articles I linked to were a different approach at installing Slackware, and explained some things in a different manner than the SlackBook. I offered to publish them here so folks could freely cannibalize them, translate them, use them for their own articles, whatever. I understand they don't quite conform to the established policy here. Maybe they can be reincluded at a later state, when the site is reasonably filled with original texts and french translations, in the french section of External Sources.
