These are all off the top of my head. If I spent more time, I'm sure I could come up with a larger list or better define these points: BSD-style init with support for SysV init no dependency resolution with stock distro no official 3rd-party repos (although, SBo is endorsed by Pat) all decisions rest with a single person completely built using easily tweaked shell scripts (SlackBuilds) only pure 64bit and 32bit versions -- multilib only offered by 3rd-party desire for vanilla packaging preferring to provide as upstream intends, without patches or tweaking (can't always happen) package management completely handled by shell scripts

Lockywolf Member Registered: Jul 2007 Posts: 683 Rep:	Well, I'd want to make a sort of 'complete reference' of Slackware specifics. That is a list of: Binaries Initscripts Edited config files Directories Packages Informal things Everything I have forgotten I wouldn't really include the installer, because installing Linux is completely non-standard. I believe, that would largely be just commenting the aaa_base, etc and aaa_elflibs line by line, but perhaps not just that. Last edited by Lockywolf; 05-01-2019 at 11:46 PM.

I don't know if admins will see this or if they have the ability to unsubscribe you without going in the database manually to edit it (I don't think I've had that ability with forums I've managed in the past).

If you go to the top of the thread, there is a "Thread Tools" button, click that and a little menu will pop up where you can then select "Unsubscribe from this Thread".

Sorry, it didn't seem that obvious to me at the time.

To unsubscribe from SlackDocs email list, go to this page and put your email in the lowest field, which allows you to unsubscribe or edit your options.

Or you should be able to send an email to slackdocs-leave@lists.alienbase.nl (it does not need a subject or any text in the body).

If it is a slightly different mailing list (since you included "admin", it might be), just tweak the addresses above to match the list name.

You should be able to verify what email it uses by looking at the headers of one of the messages. Then just use that email to send an email to slackdocs-admin-leave@lists.alienbase.nl

If you do not remember your login/password for the Admin list, you'll probably have to contact Alien Bob (Eric Hameleers) to request that he manually remove you from the list. eric.hameleers at alienbase.nl

Lockywolf Member Registered: Jul 2007 Posts: 683 Rep:	This cannot probably be considered even an alpha version, but I won't find too much time for it in the meantime, so it's not worth keeping the draft in-house. Pull-requests welcome. https://gitlab.com/Lockywolf/linuxbu...kware-isms.tbl This is a table of I would like to see as a result of Code: diff --side-by-side UNIX Slackware and, possibly, Code: diff --side-by-side Slackware GNU diff --side-by-side Slackware RedHat diff --side-by-side Slackware LFS diff --side-by-side Slackware Folklore The task is very big, especially with respect to RedHat, but hey, bad documentation is better than no documentation.

(I have not checked if any other languages have the same error.)
