Hello!
Dave how did you get Slackware for ARM running on yours? I didn't have
much luck originally with my setup and decided to put it aside.

Hi Gregg,

I modified the Dave's Collective installer ramdisk image, so that I can do headless installs.
I write that (plus the other required files) to a (50MB) (v)fat partition on an SD card, then boot the Pi on that card.
Then I follow the standard install path to NFS install Slackware, except I use a set of custom tagfiles to only install the packages I want.
I'm currently installing a modified version of 13.37, I've added the raspi- packages to the y directory, and added them into the tagfile.

Would you like me to upload the files I'm using? So you can try them.


Regards
Dave
