I will be glad to work with it. It would nice to assist to some kind of revolution. The elements are there.

Thanks for the vote of confidence ... i may have been staring at it for too long ... hopefully it lives up to expectations. I'm not the best coder around ... but like a bulldog, once i get hold i'm not letting go until the job is done.

GRRRREAT!

Like your sense of humour ... sly like a fox.

Only cheerleading the troops. One does what he is able to do.

Slackyd update seems to be broken. Wget error when retrieving MANIFEST.bz2 file from all Slackware mirrors.

[brokenman]

darkstar mirrors are not working. Replace the repo in slackyd.conf with: http://repository.slacky.eu/

http://mirrors.slackware.com/mirrorlist/

[Hamza]

All Slackware mirrors are in "error" when trying to retrieves the file MANIFEST.bz2.

If you say so. But i just updated without a problem after following my instructions. Thats the reason they invented 'mirrors' no? They can't ALL be borked.

Ok.

How many mirrors do you use? And which are they?

I would like to have your special receipe!:twisted:

@guys

64bit slackyd users must edit /etc/slackyd/slackyd.conf and change to:

Code: Select all

slackware64 = yes

and

Code: Select all

repository slacky = http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware64-14.0/

for 32bit users it's enough to change to:

Code: Select all

repository slacky = http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-14.0/

this will be done by default for rc2 of porteus-2.0

EDIT:\\
fixed 32bit repo as per Hamza report below.

64bit repository for 32bit system?
