How many CD is needed?
 

I am just starting with Slackware and had downloaded CD1 and CD2 of Slackware 12.0. With these, I am able to do a "full" install.

Anyway since 12.1 is here and my 12.0 isn't really ready, I've re-downloaded CD1 and CD2 of Slackware 12.1. Somehow, I couldn't find kde during the install.

Maybe I am in a rush - late for an appointment (now!) or is Slackware 12.1 needing more CDs (maybe CD3).

Appreciate if someone can give a pointer, thanks in advance.

Cheers

KDE is on CD 3.

If you're new to Slackware, and you've got the space, it's wise to do a full install (about 4.8 GB), using all 3 CDs.

it says on the torrents page what is on each disk.

Has KDE been moved to CD 3 in 12.1? 'Cause it was on CD 2 in 12.0 and only KDEi and extra/ were on CD 3, and you could therefore do a full install using only 2 CDs.

[edit]Should refresh page before posting...thanks H_TeXMeX_H, that explains it all.[/edit]

I'm glad someone else has asked this question. I wanted to know the same thing.
How fortuitous.
What a useful resource this forum is!

:)

Ahh.. I downloaded the CDs through ftp so didn't got to see the torrents page. For a minute, thought I had miss something when rushing for time :)

Downloading CD3 now :-)

Any idea how to check if rt73usb is supported by default in slackware 12.1?

If you have 12.1 installed already, you could try `modinfo rt73usb` (or `locate rt73usb`) to see if the module is present and loadable. modinfo will give some information about the module itself. The rt73usb module is compiled as a module into the generic kernel by default and can be loaded with `modprobe rt73usb`.

[edit]I believe it's compiled as a module in all kernels provided (generic, generic-smp, huge, huge-smp).[/edit]

Got that :D

Will try it when with my computer, thanks!!
