00:00hello everyone please don't forget to subscribe like share and comment
00:05and do not become a member i was asked to show how to set up slackware current
00:11and i thought that it doesn't have iso or installation media i looked online and i
00:18discovered that it has whereas on the official website of slackware there is only the main
00:25release and as of the time of recording this video it is 15.0 we have at least two links
00:34that we can
00:36get our installation medium from this one and this one they don't differ much we better get the install
00:48dvd that the one that is of 5.2 gigabytes we click it and it should download for us i'm
00:58using here a
00:59download manager to make things faster click download again our iso file is downloaded as you can see
01:13since our installation medium is ready let's make a virtual machine that's all i can do about
01:18installing it i don't think it differs much with real hardware when it comes to the installation
01:25nor with slackware's main installation media let's make this one call it like this
01:38we choose we choose where it here it is here it is selected
02:26make it uefi here
02:30and then we start the virtual machine
02:40here enter
02:44the rest is very similar to the installation of any official slackware at least for 14.2 and 15.0
02:55the
02:55rest i'm not sure of but i don't think it differed much over the time here we press enter
03:02here we choose root enter i mean type root and enter i will clear out the screen we run cf
03:11disk
03:13here we choose gpt since we chose uefi in your case if it is mbr choose dos which is the
03:19second option
03:20then enter i guess i will clear out the screen then enter i guess i need to make this full
03:25screen like this
03:27here like this and then here we choose new we give it around 100 megabytes uppercase m for megabytes enter
03:41uh we go to type it's you choose between the different options with the left and right arrow keys
03:51in the type we choose efi system later the installation will recognize it and use it otherwise it will
03:57complain and the installation may fail or it will be missing that partition here we create a new partition
04:08let's make it two gigabytes this one is for
04:14swap and here we select swap for the type
04:19swap and then this one new keep it the way it is and then for the type we choose linux
04:28file system
04:29and then we go to write this one enter type yes here enter and then enter again for quit which
04:38is
04:39already highlighted for me i will clear the screen
04:49for the type here it is if i can highlight it for you no it's at the top right of
04:57the window
04:59there is device start end sectors side size and type i'll clear out the screen now
05:09and we run setup enter there are some there are some things here that are very like
05:22personal if we can say depending on the personal preferences so if i chose any doesn't mean that's
05:29right and what you did is wrong you can choose whatever you want like the file system and the
05:35installation bundles for the key map i will keep it the way it is for the swap it will detect
05:41it as you
05:42can see it did here i will choose no you can choose yes okay here the partition that i chose
05:53before to
05:53install the system and it recognized it so select is highlighted i will press enter
06:00for the format here for the format here where i choose the file system i will go with ext4 or
06:06extended 4
06:07enter enter again
06:12yes here enter it's highlighted already here enter here enter enter enter here it will automatically find
06:23the installation medium here i will reduce some of the stuff that i don't need to speed up the install
06:35process
06:36for linux kernel source this is in case you want to build your own kernel i don't think i need
06:43it
06:50games not needed games not needed for me for you you can choose whatever you want i got rid of
06:57the kde plasma
06:58desktop here i will press enter for ok this one also is fine for me ok enter here press enter
07:08as long as
07:09skip is the one that is chosen i don't think you want to make a usb linux boot stick in
07:13case you want just
07:14select create
07:19here we choose skip install in lilo and proceed to elilo installation enter here install enter okay
07:31install also enter since okay is highlighted
07:38yes enter
07:40yes enter here yes enter
07:44yes enter host name you can call it whatever you want i can call it i can call it current
07:52like this for
07:54instance enter this one like this enter enter again here enter
08:04yes here enter enter it's correct enter here you choose whichever services you would like to have
08:13started at every boot
08:21they are fine for me the way they are choose whichever you want then select okay then enter
08:30enter here i don't want to do this enter here you choose your time zone
08:44i chose that
08:47this one is fine for me enter and this one also i will choose xfce
08:55okay is highlighted so i'll press enter this one i will choose the password for root
09:04enter here
09:06okay our setup is complete
09:09we can exit out of here by selecting exit slackware linux setup if you have anything else to do you
09:14can do it
09:15before you reboot or after the reboot as long as your system is bootable
09:23okay i will remove the installation medium
09:33i guess it is removed we will reboot
09:39here a part of screen doesn't allow me to see the login and the password i will try to type
09:46it
09:48yes
09:49yes clear we can start x or maybe add the user by running this command
09:58i'll call it like this as usual enter
10:02no it's wheel here
10:06and then pass wd for that user
10:12all right let's switch the user to wait like this and then we can start x like this
10:21no it refused i guess because of the privileges i need to add it to video group if i'm not
10:27mistaken
10:28i will prove that xfce works by starting x on the user route
10:38and you can see that the mouse appeared and our desktop environment for slackware works
10:51if we ping google it means it works which means that the virtual machine is connected to the internet
11:05anyway that was the second way to install slackware current and get it working on your system
11:13i'm signing out and peace
