So I installed Linuxoze
DukePuke:
Thanks you for help, expecialy that you dont RTFM'ed me. Actualy I discovered that "startx" and "adduser" earlier. Actualy i use that slack now, dunno how i had done it, but I setup Internet connection for it. Actualy The biggest problem I am finding is libraries. I hate that almost every Linuxoze software requires various interplatformic-libs to additional be downloaded and installed. I find that problem expecialy with graphical/non-console progs. And then i compile those libraries, they spit errors as well (read my first post above). I hoped more inter-distro compatibility from linuxoze ;/

You don't have to do this manually.
Slapt-get and Swaret do these for you.

Only very bad software isn't.
If you can't find a compatible package,
you can convert them (or use sources).
PS:Give slapt-get or swaret a try.

When you have library problems, say you fell victim to "dependency hell." That's the official lingo ;)

It's also pretty snappy.

Not when your computer has 32MB RAM and your favorite desktop is KDE. :D

Good job on the internet setup.
Regarding library dependencies, on my RedHat install, I just told the installer to install everything for this reason.
I stopped using slackware around 1999 but I'd be suprised if it didn't come with most of the libraries you need these days... maybe you just didn't install them?
Guys, my memory is fading. Doesn't slackware have a setup program that can be run after the system is online to add binary packages that were neglected?
The slapt-get thing would be cool too, but he might as well install everything from his CDROMs before downloading new stuff.
