James was using the stock lowmem.i kernel from Slackware. ------------------------------- # Networking options # CONFIG_PACKET=y # CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP is not set # CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV is not set # CONFIG_NETFILTER is not set # CONFIG_FILTER is not set CONFIG_UNIX=y # CONFIG_INET is not set -------------------------------- > If you are using one from BasicLinux ... well, the BasicLinux > home page says it supports X installs, so I suppose the kernel > includes what is needed BasicLinux uses a stock Slackware kernel (bare.i). > 5.

James is running pure, unadulterated Slackware 8.1. Yes, it is a mini-installation (26mb of HD space) -- but it's 100% Slackware. The confusion arises because the author of BasicLinux (who is a strong supporter of using Linux on old PCs) produced a special installation routine to enable old PCs to install Slackware 8.1. The normal installation routine for Slackware 8.1 requires 16mb RAM. The special installation routine runs happily on a system with 4mb RAM and 80mb HD. ------------------------------------------- http://www.volny.cz/basiclinux/slack81.html ------------------------------------------- Although this installation package for Slackware 8.1 is stored at the BasicLinux site, it is quite different from BasicLinux.
