 Pages that are taken from the Slack Book should go in the **slackbook** namespace, not in the **slackware** namespace. 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// Pages that are taken from the Slack Book should go in the **slackbook** namespace, not in the **slackware** namespace.

 +----
 +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.

 +I forgot to note in this talk page that the modified document was moved to [[slackware:install|Slackware installation]] with all of your revisions (which is being referenced by the main page), **all documents in the slackbook namespace will be locked so they can retain the original text and clone the slackbook content**.\\  //
 +If you wish to contribute to the official slackbook you can read the book at [[slackbook.org]] and send patches to the author, if the patches are accepted into the offical document then the changes will be cloned here.//  --- //[[wiki:user:mfillpot|Matthew Fillpot]] 2012/09/06 03:46//
