it says: write on screen the string "mv /etc/rc.d/rc.4.new /etc/rc.d/rc.4" and redirect the output in append mode (the ">>") to the file $startdir/pkg/install/doinst.sh
Gapan, its impossible to do it in a bash prompt
this is an install cd, at initial boot after installing it's gonna hit runlevel 4 and cink out as my rc.4 is being named rc.4.new and not overwriting the original...
I wanna get this little iso uploaded today, and hope to overcome this seemingly small issue...
I replaced GDM on all my installs across 3 PC's and like 15 partitions with just Slim
SalixOS on 2 pcs now has slim vs gdm
got rid of gdm/xdm in my absolute installs too
I even run all my buntu's and debians with slim now

You never mentioned you wanted to put it in a CD! In that case it won't work of course. You'll need to recreate the package, by editing the SLKBUILD file like this:
Code:
#Maintainer: George Vlahavas <vlahavas~at~gmail~dot~com>
pkgname=slim
pkgver=1.3.1
pkgrel=1gv
arch=i486
source=slim-1.3.1.tar.gz
docs=("readme" "install" "copying" "changelog" "authors" "news" "todo" "themes")
options=('noautodotnew')
dotnew=('etc/slim.conf')
url=http://slim.berlios.de/

"slim - Simple Login Manager"
"SLiM is a Desktop-independent graphical login manager for X11, derived"
"from Login.app. It aims to be light and simple, although completely"
"configurable through themes and an option file; is suitable for"
"machines on which remote login functionalities are not needed."
)
build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
sed -i "s/CFLAGS=/CFLAGS+= /" Makefile
make || return 1
make install DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg
THEMES="icelite"
for i in $THEMES; do
cp -a $startdir/src/$i $startdir/pkg/usr/share/slim/themes
done
chown -R root:root $startdir/pkg/usr/share/slim/themes
sed -i "s/current_theme\(.*\)/current_theme icelite/" $startdir/pkg/etc/slim.conf
}
You'll need to install slkbuild of course in order build the package using that SLKBUILD: http://download.salixos.org/i486/13....noarch-1gv.txz
Just install that, edit your SLKBUILD file and run slkbuild -X in the same directory.
