<h4 id="toc_0.0.1.1">Enabling multilib support on Slackware64</h4>
<pre>
# 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
</pre>
<h4 id="toc_0.0.1.2">Upgrade all built-in Packages</h4>
<p>
Select a mirror (uncomment a line) in <code>/etc/slackpkg/mirrors</code>
Then run:
</p>
<pre>
# slackpkg update gpg
# slackpkg update
# slackpkg upgrade-all
</pre>
<h5 id="toc_0.0.1.2.1">Blacklisting Packages</h5>
<p>
Now, blacklist packages gotten from SBo & alienBob's repository
Add the following to <code>/etc/slackpkg/blacklist</code>
</p>
<pre>
[0-9]+_SBo
[0-9]+alien
</pre>
<h5 id="toc_0.0.1.2.2">Installing SBOPKG</h5>
<p>
As root:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Get newest version from: <a href="http://www.sbopkg.org/downloads.php">http://www.sbopkg.org/downloads.php</a>
*At writing: <a href="http://sbopkg.googlecode.com/files/sbopkg-0.37.0-noarch-1_cng.tgz">http://sbopkg.googlecode.com/files/sbopkg-0.37.0-noarch-1_cng.tgz</a>
<li>
installpkg sbopkg*.tgz
</ul>
<h4 id="toc_0.0.1.3">Adding a new user</h4>
<pre>
# useradd
</pre>
<p>
Then, if needed:
</p>
<pre>
# visudo
</pre>
<p>
And add the user to sudo
</p>
<h4 id="toc_0.0.1.4">Configuring Graphical Logins</h4>
<p>
If the system is to boot into X by default, Open <code>/etc/inittab</code> as root, change the following line:
</p>
<pre>
# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)
id:3:initdefault:
</pre>
<p>
To this:
</p>
<pre>
# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)
id:4:initdefault:
</pre>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
You can manually enter run-level 4 by entering, as root, <code>init 4</code>
To select or switch between available desktop environments, run <code>xwmconfig</code> as root (<code>wmconfig</code> from CLI)
