What's wrong with Slackware Repository?
I like Zenwalk, and have only had one problem so far. Trying to download and install from the Slackware-Current Repository. Everything fails with the message "corrupted file". Tried it on 2 occasions with Emacs - same result.

No idea, never had any problems like that. Sounds like it is an MD5 issue maybe?

you might have a look here:
http://support.zenwalk.org/index.php/topic,6113.0.html the idea is: if your mirror looks like: http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/slackw...ent/slackware/ delete the last "slackware" and everything should be fine |
OK, thanks. Trouble is I've a bigger problem now. I installed some stuff last night, and everything went OK. But this morning, trying to boot into Zenwalk the progress bar on the gets right across, then a message box pops up with errors related to the X server: mouse, keyboard, and nv modules not found. Along with the installs I did netpkg upgraded or updated xorg-7.1.1-i486-42.1 to 42.4. Could this have anything to do with the problem?

I've reinstalled Zenwalk and not installed whatever caused the X server problem. And I've edited netpkg.conf so the Slackware depository problem is solved too. Thanks.
|
your mouse, keyborad, ... problem was just a package missing
"netpkg xorg-drivers" should have solved the problem |
I missed what it was that I had netpkg installing that updated xorg, so I've done it again - it was among the dependencies for Wine. Thanks, I'll update the drivers next time. Just got a couple more distros to try before I settle for one. Zenwalk is my No.1 for compact distros, and Slackware for full distros.

Giving Vector Linux (half-sister of Zenwalk?) a try.

Update the drivers
Quote:
I had the same problem when I did the update. After I installed the xorg-drivers from netpkg everything was fine. No problems so far. Hope this helps. |
Just installed Zenwalk again this morning. Updated everything with netpkg - all OK so far (touch wood!).
(That didn't last long.) |
How's that been posted again? I didn't do it.
My mistake, ignore above remark, reading dates wrongly. Brain crashing! |
