| The full huge kernel that comes with Slackware is close to providing everything we need, but we still need to recompile it. I'd recommend doing the compilation on a 32-bit virtual machine if you are targeting a 32-bit thin client, or 64-bit if your thin client is 64-bit. There are ways to avoid this and cross-compile 32->64 bit and visa versa but virtual machines are cheap and life is short: | The full huge kernel that comes with Slackware 14.2 is close to providing everything we need, but we still need to recompile it.
