resize reiserfs partition
Hi, In slackware 13 I have resized a reiserfs using the command resize_reiserfs. That worked ok but I can't figure out how to resize the partition.

Migrating to slackware64
Hi, currently I'm test driving Slackware64 and it's working out pretty good, so good that I think about migrating my existing slack installation to Slackware64. Now I wonder if there are any hints, gotchas, etc I should be aware of and what the smoothest path of migration is. Usually I would go on the follow... 30 Dec 2009 04:23

Qemu help
I've got an old but extremely useful piece of software that won't run on anything more recent than Win 98. It won't run on XP or under Wine, though strangely, it used to run under OS/2 (which had Win 3.1 built in)! I've always kept an old machine running '98 solely so I could use this software, but with Virtua... 1 Jan 2010 12:59

Slackware 13.0 with KDE 3.5.10?
Hi, I recently installed Slackware 13.0 on a notebook and everything worked more or less as expected, except for direct graphic rendering with my integrated Intel card. This has been the case for most major up-to-date distros I tested on the somewhat old notebook, namely a Samsung Q25. That said, a Knoppix CD wi... 26 Jan 2010 21:12
