Thank you guys. I am appreciate your help.

Since there were some unmovable system blocks in my Windows partition, it took me 5~6 hours to shrink 40GB out from the Windows partition. (GUSH~~~ )

With some google help and installed the system twice, I finally get my Slackware running in my machine. But I still can't figure out how to setup my wifi connection. The networkManager doesn't seem user-friendly, and it greys out and I can't enable it. I need more time to figure it out.

Anyway, I like it so far. Thank guys.

PS: Please recommend me some books or websites to learn Linux.

Do you know of a better way?

I like wicd (from /extra), easy config and has little gui on Xfce menu

Thanks beachboy2. You are awesome.

Thanks. I will check it out later today.

If the wifi connection is ok, then I will give to use Linux instead of my Windows.

If wicd doesn't appear on Xfce panel, you may need to add Notification Area plugin (right click on panel, add new items)

Thank again.

I've found it very strange about the system. First I was fooling around the KDE, and somehow I turned the sound off. Then I switched to xfce since I couldn't fix the wifi problem in KDE. After the xfce started, the sound was off, and I couldn't turn it on back. So, I went back to KDE and turned volumn back on. Then I can hear sound in xfce.

dwnthk,

Spare my blushes!

Glad to hear that you are settling in to Linux world.

I am not familiar with kde, it seems it requires wicd-kde package to work with (maybe you have it installed already, check with ls /var/log/packages/wicd-kde*)

For sound, it's not unusual that channels are muted by default, 'alsamixer' command should show that, surelly kde settings unmuted channels in some way.

Very dignified ... we are not. Soliciting.

Don't worry. It is ok. I will figure it out.

It is my first reply using Linux to do. My wifi setting has been fixed. The browser's response is very fast! Thanks Keefaz.

What good does "Yes" do?

It will boost forum reputation, which is silly.
