Hey all,
I have had Slackware on my system for a while now, but ever since I reinstalled Windows on my Windows Partition, I lost the LiLo Boot loader. So I just sorta left it like it was and figured I would come back to it later.

Well, it's later, and I want to run Slackware again. So I reinstalled. Right away I had a small issue, Gnome failed to install. I guess my disk is corrupt? Anyone else have a similar issue with Gnome?

The next is I forget how to switch Window Managers, didn't Slack have a handy little method of doing that via the command line?

Also where is my X config file again? I can't use my scroll wheel and so I want to go back and edit the file so that I can.

Lastly, I have a sound blaster Live 5.1 and I can't hear anything from it. Nothing...any ideas about where to start troubleshooting this one? In KDE I do see that it is recognized by the Kernel and KDE, but it is just not working...Oh and the speakers are plugged in

Actually, there is one more thing, I am a big OS X fan, can I make KDE look exactly like OS X? I knew I was able to for Gnome, but I don't how to do it for KDE.

Thank you.
Mike

Actually I forgot this one, is there a way to install the 2.6 kernel? I thought Slack 10 had it by default, I was wrong.

Almost all your questions were discussed here before. Simple search will tell you a lot.
You shouldn't install slackware again if you already have it on your harddisk. Deleting Lilo can be easily recovered by other means.
For general idea about slackware, it's configuration tools and other things you've asked try reading here:

and the tutorials here:

I tried some searches and looked for some of my old posts. I was not very successful. I will try harder next time though.

Thank you for the few links though.

to switch windowmanagers, at the login prompt type xwmconfig and choose the windowmanager

to enable scrolling add the following to your xf86config/xorgconfig
mouse section
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
(probably in /etc/X11, im not sure where slack has it or if slack has xorg or xf86)

it's xorg

Thanks, I have that mouse stuff written down somewhere...I just can't find it.

command line enter " alsaconf " for sound card detection

I always just run my server from the cd#2 and tell where to boot slack from.

As posted above all the answers you seek are in the pages under search.
