-Slackware ARM 14.2 is the only available version that's officially supported on the Raspberry Pi 1. Slackware ARM -current is a hard floating point port and requires a minimum CPU architecture of ARMv7-a. The Raspberry Pi 1 only has ARMv6 architecture.+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.

-Table of contents 
-  - Partition and format the SD Card 
-  - Put the Raspberry Pi firmware in the SD Card 
-  - Put the Slackware ARM mini root file system in the SD Card 
-  - Insert the SD Card in the Raspberry Pi 
- 
-Remarks: 
-  * This method is for installing Slackware ARM 14.2 on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B 
-  * However, it should work for other Slackware ARM and Raspberry Pi versions 
- 
-=== 1. Partition and format the SD Card === 
- 
-<code> 
-$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0 
- 
-Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 31.9 GB, 31914983424 bytes 
-4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 973968 cylinders, total 62333952 sectors 
-Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes 
-Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes 
-I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes 
-Disk identifier: 0x00000000 
- 
-        Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System 
-/dev/mmcblk0p1            2048       67583       32768    b  W95 FAT32 
-/dev/mmcblk0p2           67584    62333951    31133184   83  Linux 
-$ sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 
-$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk0p2 
-</code> 
- 
-Remarks: 
-  * I use a 32GB SD Card 
-  * I choose 32MB for the size of the first partition 
-  * I let the empty space left for the second partition 
- 
-=== 2. Put the Raspberry Pi firmware in the SD Card === 
- 
-<code> 
-$ git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware.git 
-$ sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 ~/mnt 
-$ sudo cp -r firmware/boot/* ~/mnt 
-$ sudo umount ~/mnt 
-$ sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 ~/mnt 
-$ sudo mkdir -p ~/mnt/lib/modules 
-$ sudo cp -r firmware/modules/* ~/mnt/lib/modules 
-$ sudo umount ~/mnt 
-</code> 
- 
-=== 3. Put the Slackware ARM mini root file system in the SD Card === 
- 
-<code> 
-$ wget -c ftp://ftp.arm.slackware.com/slackwarearm/slackwarearm-devtools/minirootfs/roots/slack-14.2-miniroot_01Jul16.tar.xz 
-$ sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 ~/mnt 
-$ sudo tar -C ~/mnt -xf slack-14.2-miniroot_01Jul16.tar.xz 
-$ echo "/dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat defaults 0 0" | sudo tee ~/mnt/etc/fstab 
-$ echo "/dev/mmcblk0p2 /     ext4 defaults 0 0" | sudo tee -a ~/mnt/etc/fstab 
-$ echo "proc           /proc proc defaults 0 0" | sudo tee -a ~/mnt/etc/fstab 
-$ PASSWD=$(openssl passwd -1 -salt cetkq/enZx6/c2 password) 
-$ sudo sed -i "s|\(root:\).*\(:16983:0:::::\)|\1${PASSWD}\2|" ~/mnt/etc/shadow 
-$ sudo sed -i 's|USE_DHCP\[1\]=""|USE_DHCP\[1\]="yes"|' ~/mnt/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf 
-$ echo "PermitRootLogin yes" | sudo tee -a ~/mnt/etc/ssh/sshd_config 
-$ sudo umount ~/mnt 
-</code> 
- 
-Remarks: 
-  * I set "password" as password for the "root" user 
-  * I set DHCP on the "eth1" network interface 
-  * I allow the "root" user to connect through SSH 
- 
-=== 4. Insert the SD Card in the Raspberry Pi === 
- 
-Your SD Card is ready so you can insert it in the Raspberry Pi and boot. 
- 
-You can connect remotely to your Raspberry Pi as "root" through SSH. 
-<code> 
-$ ssh root@raspberrypi 
-</code> 
- 
-As soon as you are logged, you might want to install additional Slackware ARM packages: 
-<code> 
-$ wget --mirror ftp://ftp.arm.slackware.com/slackwarearm/slackwarearm-14.2 
-$ upgradepkg --install-new ftp.arm.slackware.com/slackwarearm/slackwarearm-14.2/slackware/*/*.txz 
-$ removepkg ftp.arm.slackware.com/slackwarearm/slackwarearm-14.2/slackware/*/kernel_*.txz 
-</code> 
  
-Remarks: 
-  * I consider that the Raspberry Pi hostname is "raspberrypi" 
-  * I recommend to add a normal user and use this user instead of "root" 
-  * I recommend to change the "root" user password 
-  * I recommend to disallow the "root" user to connect through SSH 
-  * I recommend to [[https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/kernel/building.md|build your own Linux kernel]] packages because the kernel you are running does not match with the installed Slackware ARM packages 
-  * I recommend to [[https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/VC4/|build your own Mesa]] package to get 60 FPS with the "glxgears" command
