Slackware 10.2 Released

[Dapper Dan]

I prefer vi as well, but I'd take jens advice and use one from kde or gnome. When in X, I like gedit. In kde, I like Kate. There are others though. From the command line, joe is really easy to use and has a help screen available right there when you open it up. Say you want to open /etc/fstab. Just use the name of one of the above, and the file. Do it as root.

vi /etc/fstab

or

gedit /etc/fstab

etc...

I noticed the same(already a few times). Seems to be a problem with pgktool.
Retry it a few times(worked for me) or cd to it's location and install it from their.

Try running alsaconf as root (su).

with command based or tui

$su

#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

#cd /mnt/cdrom/linux-2.6.13/

#installpkg ./*.tgz

[cheetahman]

$su

#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

#cd /mnt/cdrom/linux-2.6.13/

#installpkg ./*.tgz

Would I do it on installpkg or threw command mode if installpkg then which selection in installpkg do I choose and I log into root anyways so I don't need $su

Just cut and past the above in your console(using su)
