Happy with Slack 12!
I haven't posted for a while but I just wanted to say that Slack 12 rocks! It has been much nicer with my desktop than Slack 11 was. Slack 11 had problems detecting my internal card reader but Slack 12 detects it everytime. Of course I'll admit to being lazy and not putting Slack 12 on my server yet but that will happen soon I am sure.

Welcome back:-)
I'm also very happy with Slackware 12. I'm running it on two boxes right now; it runs very well:-) |
ditto
This is indeed the best yet.
I really like the way Pat V. puts things together. Prior versions had me wanting to build a new kernel immediately after installation, but not now. That should reduce my coffee intake. |

I'll add my 2 cents on "Slack 12 is awesome" :-)
I installed it on my desktop to replace Ubuntu 6.06 (which I had installed for about 2 years I think) and I fell in love with Slackware all over again. (Slackware 11 has been on my server since it came out, but I hadn't used Slack on my main computer since about 9.1) I liked it so much, I installed it on my laptop too, replacing Fedora 7! Fedora is nice, but I like how Slackware is so simple and vanilla ;-) In Fedora, pirut (the package installer) and pup (the package updater) always felt slow, and I was worried by how many Fedora specific patches in just about everything. Slackware gave me an excuse to get back to simplicity. Also, I'm a KDE fan, and Amarok rocks my socks off. Go Slackware! |

Hey Guys how about sharing in plain english how you installed slackware12. Can you still make a floppy boot disk to start the install? I am confused because I am reading how kernel is too large for old fashion floppy?

Does the bootable USB Memory Stick require a network setup? Otherwise yes ;)
Or could I just use an old barei boot disk, format hdc and then use slackware12 Install CDs? Thanks |

If You have a box w/o CD/DVD There might be a chance fro You still:
Copy the DVD to a partition on the HDD (on another box?) and install grub in the MBR of that HDD. Try to mimic the islinux's conf file in the GRUB's menu.lst of that HDD (install GRUB to MBR with the GRUB's /boot/ to the partition holding DVD's contents): Code:
+--------------+----+---------------+ You will get the install prompt, just carry on as if it was from optical media. |
