[2024-feb-29] Sad news: Eric Layton aka Nocturnal Slacker aka vtel57 passed away on Feb 26th, shortly after hospitalization. He was one of our Wiki's most prominent admins. He will be missed.

Welcome to the Slackware Documentation Project

Notes

    • Section Articles complexes: add example(s), rephrase. English version kinda hard to understand too.
    • remove the note about templates that are not working for french, when solved.
  • To make < key > not interpreting what's inside teh tag, try enclosing the character in single quotes. for the - key you must type Minus.

(Grabbed from the ML discussion between mattfillpot and alienbob). Maybe add it to the tutorial (if it isn't yet)?

<key>'c'</key> // <key>Minus</key>
  • Add a 'tag handling' part in teh tutorial ?

Special french chars

To be used with the US dead-key layout and a configured special key.
I use the left Win key (keycode 133 = Multi_key) in the ~/.Xmodmap file.
ç: , + c
é: ' + e
è: ` + e
à: ` + a



USEFUL ?

Step-by-step for noobs: where do I start ?
This is not a complete guide, but rather helps you getting started with the basics. The goal here is to allow a clean and secure system browsing the internet. Once you get your internet connection working, this wiki will answer ALL your further questions.

1. install: follow complete'n'existing install guide
2. WM basic guide
3. setup basic firewall
4. setup network connections (to consult this site !)
5. setup a browser (needed, as FF's workin out-of-the-box ?)
6. install hardware/software, configure the system and everything else: use the wiki HOWTOS, articles, …

In general, you want to configure your hardware first. Then your system (boot files, etc), then only the software.
