 +In the "Why doesn't Slackware Linux have my favourite "XYZ" software included in the CD/DVD?", delete this sentence: "Be it so, Slackware still packages a large number of commonly used software that are be needed by most users.", please.  --- //[[nowbrians@yahoo.co.uk|Brian Lawrence]] 2012/08/27 02:39//

 +Ignore last remark, I'll edit that line.  --- //[[nowbrians@yahoo.co.uk|Brian Lawrence]] 2012/08/27 03:03//

 +I can see a section dealing with the speed of Slackware boot up has been added. The author / poster may also consider mentioning the Lilo's ''compact'' option.
 +--- //[[wiki:user:sycamorex|sycamorex]] 2012/08/31 21:46//
 +> I added that section. Please feel absolutely free to improve upon it. I myself don't use LILO, so I didn't know the options in LILO. Anybody with knowledge of LILO may improve it as far as I am concerned.  --- //[[wiki:user:vharishankar|Harishankar]] 2012/08/31 19:48//

 +Harishankar, have you then removed the section? I can't see it

 +> No it's still here: [[slackware:faq#why_does_slackware_take_so_long_to_boot_up|Why does Slackware take so long to boot up?]] I see that somebody else has added more content to it.   --- //[[wiki:user:vharishankar|Harishankar]] 2012/09/01 00:55//

 +===== Present Contributors of Slackware Linux? =====

 +I have added a list of names mentioned by Patrick in the LQ.org interview as present contributors. Please feel free to add names which I might have left out due to my ignorance.  --- //[[wiki:user:vharishankar|Harishankar]] 2012/08/31 21:21//

 +In the section "Why doesn't Slackware's package manager do dependency handling?", change "number" to "amount" in "A significant number of Open Source software..." --- //[[wiki:user:brianl|Brian Lawrence]] 2012/09/01 03:15//
 +>I changed it to "several popular open source applications". Reads a bit better in my view.  --- //[[wiki:user:vharishankar|Harishankar]] 2012/09/01 04:01//
