Why, are you keen to start writing some? I can provide you with that list :-).

All my HOWTOs are ones that I want for myself, and you will probably notice that there are few people involved in writing Slackware HOWTOs. Incidentally, here's one for a rainy bank holiday Sunday:

Also as follow-up I've added some notes on setting up the RPi as an access point:

I would like to create a HOWTO on setting up LXC containers. I created an account, but I don't see how to create a new page. Do I need to request special permissions, or am I missing something obvious?

See instructions here: https://www.dokuwiki.org/page#create_a_page

Of course you'll need to be logged in.

Those methods all indicate that there should be a link to edit an existing page or create a new page, but I don't see any options like that. I think I am lacking some necessary privileges. Even if I click my user page, I get this:

But I don't see any "Create this page" button.

This is not a button, rather the label of a tab on top of the page.

To check, type this URL in your browser:
https://docs.slackware.com/playground:montagdude

EDIT: I am puzzled as I don't see your user page in slackdocs ???

Screenshots are attached showing:

1) What I see when I click your link, and
2) What I see when I click my username.

The attached screenshot shows what I see, so yes this looks like a permission issue. The second screenshot you attached just show in addition that your user page was not created.


I suggest that you contact directly the admin team, cf. https://docs.slackware.com/slackdocs:contact

The front page of the site has this text:
I enabled your account just now, after I returned home. Try again.

Thanks, Eric. I indeed missed that. I will check again in a few hours when I get home.

Something still puzzles me. I wouldn't have expected to see "montagdude" on the top right of the page in screenshot #2 of post #382 if montagdude's account creation was not yet enabled when he posted it.

The account was created and enabled, it just didn't have edit permissions until manually approved by an admin (which Eric later did).

@bassmadrigal: I didn't remember the workflow of the account creation, thanks.

I had forgotten as well (or it wasn't the case when I registered... I honestly don't remember). I only knew that from Eric's post above where it stated that an admin had to enable edit permissions.

Is there any place where there is a complete list of 'Slackware-isms', that is a list of differences between Slackware (say, 14.2) and a 'Standard Linux'?

I understand that there is no 'Standard Linux', and even LFS has some quirks, but generally, there is some loose consensus on what is standard in Linux, and what is 'a little bit different'. Say, having a bsd-style init system is usually not considered super standard (at least, LFS suggested a SystemV-style when I was reading it last time.). Also, keeping docs in /usr/doc, rather than in /usr/share/doc, although makes more sense, is usually not how docs are stored in a 'random younameit Linux distribution'.

So I actually want to have a complete list of Slackware-specific things, and I'd expect it to be very short, as Slackware is sort of 'The most standard Linux ever', but still not empty.

I can make a page on SlackWiki if this work has never been done before, but I don't really want to repeat someone else's work, so if I can just read something, please direct me.
