Installation
- Format a 8G or more SD card with the Ext2 filesystem. To make explanations clear, name it SLACK.
- It's highly recommended to have a second partition formated as a swap. 256M or more is a good choice.
- Grab the latest rootfs here : http://
- Uncompress the rootfs on your SD. Be root, using su -, or sudo :
sudo tar -xpjvf myrootfs.tar.bz2 -C /media/SLACK/ --numeric-owner
First run
- Be sure your Pandora's clock is set. Otherwise, your filesystem will be checked.
- Power down your Pandora, insert the SD card in slot 1, and power on your unit.
- Login : op Password : op
Basic usage
- In order to type commands as root, you have to type su -. You can use just su, but i don't recommend it because you won't have the full root environment.
Basic tools
- To upgrade, become root, then use slackpkg update, followed by slackpkg upgrade-all.
- To enable or disable services at boot, become root, then type pkgtool, then go in setup -> services, check the option with space then push enter.
Installing a program
- Slackware archives are .tgz or .txz
- Slackware uses three powerful tools : installpkg, removepkg and upgradepkg.
