| + | Slackware ARM 14.2 is the only available version of Slackware that is officially supported/maintained, that runs on the Raspberry Pi 1. Releases of Slackware ARM greater than version 14.2 are not backwards compatible, since they moved to a hard floating point ABI and has a minimum CPU requirement of ARMv7. The Raspberry Pi 1 only has ARMv6 architecture. | ||

| + | It's not a typo I got a bad headache figuring out why it did not work: the boot partition is to me made with id "c" but such small partitions have issues when you try to make a fat32 filesystem on them, you will get an error lamenting some issue with insufficient clusters but some sort of filesystem is made and if you ignore that and proceed you end up with something that does not boot. What you need to do is actually tell mkdosfs to make a fat16 filesystem and then things start to work right. | ||
