[ARMedslack] Raspberry-Pi sanity check

[Davide]

I put in the wiki a workaround for any time the slackware installers do not work on the PI ... it's below the links to the PI's community slackware links. 
It does not feel like windows and you need to understand what you are doing because cut and paste of the commands may not work if the rasbian image partitioning changes.
It's there just as a last resort to getting slackware on the PI if you are stuck.

You post feels like installing windows xp and/thus doesn't prove that you are sane.

I think it would be better if you could give instructions to get 
slackarm-current from official source,burn to card,boot up 
(the whole procedure....) - like fatdog.
