=== Slackware64 Post-Installation ===
[[Other]] >> [[Linux_Slackware|Slackware]]
==== Enabling multilib support on Slackware64 ====
{{{
# SLACKVER=14.1 # Obviously, change this per the version
# mkdir multilib
# cd multilib
# lftp -c "open http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/multilib/ ; mirror -c -e ${SLACKVER}"
# cd ${SLACKVER}
# upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new *.t?z
# upgradepkg --install-new slackware64-compat32/*-compat32/*.t?z
}}}

==== Upgrade all built-in Packages ====
Select a mirror (uncomment a line) in `/etc/slackpkg/mirrors`
Then run:
{{{
# slackpkg update gpg
# slackpkg update
# slackpkg upgrade-all
}}}
===== Blacklisting Packages ===== 
Now, blacklist packages gotten from SBo & alienBob's repository
Add the following to `/etc/slackpkg/blacklist`
{{{
[0-9]+_SBo
[0-9]+alien
}}}

===== Installing SBOPKG ===== 
As root:
* Get newest version from: http://www.sbopkg.org/downloads.php
  *At writing: http://sbopkg.googlecode.com/files/sbopkg-0.37.0-noarch-1_cng.tgz
* installpkg sbopkg*.tgz

==== Adding a new user ====
{{{
# adduser
}}}
Then, if needed:
{{{
# visudo
}}}
And add the user to sudo

==== Configuring Graphical Logins ====
If the system is to boot into X by default, Open `/etc/inittab` as root, change the following line:
{{{
# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)
id:3:initdefault:
}}}
To this:
{{{
# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)
id:4:initdefault:
}}}
This sets your default run-level to 4, which is Slackware's "graphics-only" mode (with one extra tty open, just in case, on vty6). Save, and on your next reboot, the system will boot into a nice graphical login.

You can manually enter run-level 4 by entering, as root, `init 4`
To select or switch between available desktop environments, run `xwmconfig` as root (`wmconfig` from CLI)
