Anyway, all looks good, the stick boots ok, slack loads, I get my empty hdd space configured for a / and swap partition and get them formated, etc. All goes per... 24 Jan 2010 16:55

Okular plugin for epub
Slack 13 and (for the moment) kde4. Allegedly Okular will display epub documents. An internet site suggests this command: kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental This runs but generates copious error messages, most about missing trailing semicolons, and Okular still won't recognize epub. Anyone here know how to fix t... 25 Jan 2010 15:03
