Howto install Slackware from Current ISOs?

Messaggio da victorche »

I have really difficult question. I'll try to explain it here. It is about installing of Slackware Current from ISOs (There are a lots of sites, offering such discs)...

Well I want to install it with kernel 2.6.x.x. If I make the instalation by default, it will be installed with 2.4.x kernel. I know that I can then use /testing directory.
And simply make upgradepkg for
alsa-driver
kernel-headers
kernel-modules
kernel-source
And then installpkg for
kernel-generic

Then I'll have a system with 2.6.x.x but... The problem is this kernel-generic :/
It supports ext2 filesystems only. It means I have to use mkininrd command which will make my system to load reiserfs support as a module.
And I don't want that :/

The funny thing is... If you check /kernels/test26.s/config on your instalation CD, you'll see that this bzimage is much better. It has built-in support for reiserfs!
So /testing/kernel-generic is something different from /kernels/test26.s/bzimage

The big question is... How can I install it directly?

I tried to do it by choosing test26.s at the beggining of a fresh instalation. But no success at all :/
The system booted with it, but after choosing Full install - source, headers and modules version 2.4.x were installed :(

So the mess was even bigger! I had this test26.s installed, but with headers, modules and source for 2.4.x
How can I install this Current with 2.6.x.x. AND reiserfs built-in support? Is there any way at all?

Note: I know I can compile the kernel from source, but I am looking for an easier way to make it...

I think you didn't read all the topic... :)

I made a note at the bottom... I said I know I can compile it. But I think it is strange that I have it as an option and I can not install it like this ;)

So I am looking for another answer :/

When `setup' ask to you what kernel do you want, I think you can select `from cdrom.
However you can copy /kernels/test26.s/bzimage into /mnt/boot, edit lilo.conf and reinstall it.

Ps. Modules will works with this kernel? I don't know

Well during the whole instalation you have the option of choosing for two times. The first time is right after the boot from the CD... The second one is after all the packages are installed.

And this is the strange thing. You have already source, headers and modules version 2.4.x installed. And then you choose test26.s... I am talking about the end of the installation.
It sounds Ok, but is not. Because after installing test26.s the instalation will not ask you to put the CD with /testing directory into your CDROM. So there is no option of installing source, headers and modules version 2.6.x.x

And by the way this problem is not only for Current ISOs. It is the same with 10.2 too. I am asking myself, why then there is an option of choosing 2.6.x.x during instalation at all :/

I really can't find a normal way of using this option during install.

Hi,

I think that the install procedure is build to make a "Stable" setup, so there is no problems or strange behaviour, if you go "testing"... some special task is needed ;-), that is manually install 2.6.x headers modules sources and so on.

Michele.
