More searching 'n found inxi-3.3.12_1-noarch-1.txz at pkgs.org Slackware 15.0. Converted that to a module 'n now both those commands work...tho that inxi -Fxzc0 seems a bit long...
Can you post a link to your module?
Is this what you mean?
https://plug-mirror.rcac.purdue.edu/sla ... ware64/ap/

That downloads: inxi-3.3.12_1-noarch-1.txz

I extracted that...tho it looks like it can be converted (?) to xzm. Then I used "Create xzm module" from the extraction.

A nice link but I was thinking more along the lines of one like this:
https://plug-mirror.rcac.purdue.edu/sla ... arch-1.txz :)

5.0 Cinnamon:
my module from 5.0rc3 - inxi-3.3.12_1-noarch-1.xzm - stopped working when I moved it to 5.0 Cinnamon? Command inxi -F gives me a:
/usr/bin/env: 'perl' : No such file or directory

I also tried Kulle's version (from #31 above) and get the same. No biggie, but had just added it to 5.0rc3 the other day.

That inxi issue 'n the switching Primary 'n Secondary Mouse Buttons in Cinnamon are the only problems for newbie me so far. See "Switching Mouse Buttons" post under Newbie Questions...DEV Team ncmprhnsbl said no problem in Mate, but confirmed my problem in Cinnamon.

Moved other modules from 5.0rc3 to 5.0 wid no problems:

LibreOffice-7.3.2-x86_64-en-US-1bl.xzm, etcher-bin-1.7.1-x86_64-stripped_rava.xzm, firefox-99.0-x86_64-en-US.xzm, freedownloadmanager.xzm, gimp-2.10.28-x86_64-1_bundle2.xzm,
gnome-disk-utility-3.38.0-x86_64.xzm, slpkg_3.9.1_and_Libraries_3.xzm (I forget what that is ?!?)

Using 16 GB SanDisk Flair wid a 350 MiB fat32 partition & a 13.98 GiB ext4 partition for testing...

Changes to porteus.cfg:
PROMPT 0
TIMEOUT 30

(Change from 90 to 30 for a quicker Automatic boot)

LABEL GRAPHICAL
MENU LABEL Graphics mode
KERNEL /boot/syslinux/vmlinuz
INITRD /boot/syslinux/initrd.xz login=root
APPEND changes=/porteus

(Added login=root to INITRD ...works better for me there, and seldom need to login or need the "startx" command)

Great Job - to ALL involved in final 5.0 Release!!! Mouse drives me crazy tho, so 5.0rc3 will be used until fixed in 5.0 Cinnamon.

Perl has been moved to 05-devel (so those that need it for some perl script will need get it, so as not to need to run with devel)
so, either: getpkg perl or activate 05-devel when you want to run inxi
