Looking at your recent excrements you are a Slackware hater. So why don't you just remove yourself quietly?
I remind you that, regardless of his or your opinion, here you first of all are a LQ member.

The exact link for 64 bit?
BTRFS supported?
it is published on Distrowatch ?
tia!
Like the MLED project owner said: please read up on it.
And please show proper respect, so no antics or anything else in this or other threads that would force me to reconsider your LQ membership based on past contributions.
Nice work. Tried KDE edition on my old hardware. Just a small notice: when using KDE with old video adapter it sometimes isnt as fast as need for everyday work, but the solution is replacing Kwin with openbox. Maybe it would be reasonable to have openbox and openbox microlinux theme in MLED.

That's what the Xfce-based MLED Light is for. Around here, it's actually more popular than the standard edition.
BTW, what's your video card? What does "/sbin/lspci | grep -i vga" spit out?
old Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS It is very slow for KDE with kWin windows manager, but KDE with Openbox windows manager works very fast.
This video card works very nice, but be sure to enable KMS (Kernel Mode Setting). Switch from huge to generic kernel, and explicitly add the "i915" module to your initrd. You'll notice that all KWin effects are perfectly supported.

I have installed MLED-14.1 6 months ago, and I enjoy your nice work.
Today, I would want update my system with a "slackpkg update" and I got this error :

On your site, there is no information about these recent modifications.
Hi,
MLED has gone through a period of trial and error and some iterations, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. KDE and Xfce are officially supported, but... you can still use the desktop-base and desktop-extra repositories if you use a different desktop environment.
My advice: disable slackpkgplus.conf, clean your system using slackpkg clean-system, then configure the new repositories and install everything using "slackpkg install desktop-base", "slackpkg install desktop-whatever".
