Going for a minimal install
 

Well, after using ctkarch for a while (amazing how small you can go), i got tired and wanted to venture out.

So, i figured why not give slackware a try. I'm no pro on linux, but im not a complete noob either.

I was wondering, my current version of ctkarch uses about 50 mb of ram, and is running on bare essentials. My computer isn't too slow, but, its not the fastest thing in the world so I dont mind some sacrifices. I'm shooting to replicate it.

Currently, i have decided on openbox as a DE, and trying to limit what i install.

Any suggestions and comments would be helpful. :D

This should help
