Hello

The Slackware Installer images have been refreshed with the latest package set, and the Install Guides have been updated.

Enjoy!

I think the latest RPi4 installer (bcm2711_rpi4-sdimg_6.1.52_1.img.xz) is missing libf2fs so you can't format the root partition using f2fs.

Code:

root@slackware:~# mkfs.f2fs --help
mkfs.f2fs: error while loading shared libraries: libf2fs.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This should be fixed in the next kernel build. Thanks for the report!

The 'bare' installers will be fixed next week (all being well), but the AiO installer images (referenced from the install guides) won't be refreshed until October most likely.
If you need the tool working before then, you can install it into the installer:

Code:

cd /tmp
wget https://slackware.uk/slackwarearm/slackwareaarch64-current/slackware/a/f2fs-tools-1.16.0-aarch64-1.txz
installpkg f2fs*z

Note that by the time you read this, f2fs-tools may be at build number 2 since we fixed the location of the library in the package (which is what caused the installer breakage), so you may need to adjust the URL accordingly.
