It has a number of problems, one is that the ATI driver has ome incompatibility with it and another is that as installed by slackpkg, it doesn't install ATA drivers...it took me a while to figure that out. I am looking into a patch ATI driver right now.

If you are considering kernel 2.6.32.5 an upgrade for your Slackware installation you are probably not running Slackware 13 but Slackware current. The last kernel upgrade for Slackware 13 was the security fix patches/packages/linux-2.6.29.6-3 If you are running Slackware current you should not expect anything to be useful, Slackware current are for people prepared to voluteer as a beta tester. regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.

Thanks. I had always used current before, stupidly thinking it meant "current state of the latest version". I had always used current in the past to no ill end. 'guess it was just dumb luck. The only real question now is why don't I have that dumb luck with lottery tickets. |
