Well now, things are looking up. 1. Solved my X problem. I could have sworn that I moved by XF86Config file to Slack, but lo and behold it was not what I was using. Now corrected; flicker gone.
2. Slack gets a big A+ for detecting my sound card automatically and for setting up CD writer automatically. 3. Slack gets a B+ for settting up my printer almost. Printer support is activated, but my LJ1100 just sits there with a blinking light, which means that the wrong type data is arriving. I looked, and it doesn't appear that Ghostscript is on board, so I'm not surprised that this doesn't work. 4. Through google, I found a source of Slack packages. Sylpheed and aterm are up and running. 5. Now the search begins in earnest to get Phoenix up and going. The phoenix nightlies (binaries) require older compatibility C++ and libc5 and libc6 libraries in order to work with all the plugins that aren't yet up to current compiler/library standards. Gentoo has all this packaged(lib-compat). Is there any equivalent in the way of a Slack package? 6. Slack gets a B+ for providing a usable, but not quite up to snuff version of KDE. -- Collins _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
