I just did a fresh install of slack 11, selected huge26.s, install went fine, I can use X and whatnot. When the system boots I get a ton of module errors, and I remember during the installation it said I would have to install modules from the testing directory.
How do I go about doing this? I have all 3 cd's, can't find a package for modules, and I can't seem to find a readme file to help me along with this.
The kernel-modules package should be in the /extra directory on either CD 2 or CD 3. If you can't find it on either of those CDs, then get it from a Slackware mirror. The kernel-modules package in /testing is for test26.s, the 2.6.18 kernel.
Anyway, you install the package with "installpkg kernel-modules-2.6.17.13-i486-1.tgz".
Nylex - Thank you muchly, I can't believe I didn't see that folder, or notice what was in it. Seems like I looked everywhere on all my cds, but thats right where it was. Installed the package and things are better now.
