[solved] newbie help: my /porteus/modules folder
Posted: 10 Oct 2016, 14:27
dear porteus forum
i am a porteus newbie
and a linux newbie
i have got porteus installed on my hdd
and i have got it booting from grub2
and i have been learning about kernel parameters
okay
i am learning to use save session changes
and magic folders
okay
i did update the usm (universal slackware package manager)
and update all databases
i did manage to update to firefox 45.4.0esr
and i did put its module in /porteus/modules
and i did see its module load at startup
and it does run correctly and remember changes
okay good
but i thought you might be horrified to learn
the current contents
of my /porteus/modules folder:
gcc-4.8.2-i486-1.txz
libmpc-0.8.2-i486-2.txz
mozilla-firefox-45.4.0esr-i486-1_slack14.1.txz
mozilla-firefox-45.4.0esr-i486-bundle.xzm
multiload-ng-1.4.0-i586-xfce4-1bundle.xzm
psc-settings.xzm
usm-latest-0.0-noarch-1.txz
viewnior-1.3-i486-1gv.txz
viewnior-1.3-i486-1gv.xzm
xflux-pre.xzm
please help me
what should be in there ?
for examples only .xzm files ?
and what shouldn't be in there ?
for example all the .txz files ?
and should i convert the .txz files to .xzm files
for examples the gcc and libmpc library files ?
to be as library modules for start up ?
i am really sorry
please help me
best wishes michael
