00:00what's up dudes we keep getting closer to 1000 subscribers let's do it faster if possible
00:10you can like comment and share with your friends the videos i would appreciate it a lot
00:16i was asked to show how to set up slack almatte this is the link it's in source
00:24forge.net if we look for it using whichever search engine this is what we get this
00:37distribution is based on slackware but it uses slackware current instead of the stable one unlike
00:46salix os which uses the stable one to download it simply click this link this button it's a link
00:54also i have it downloaded already that's why it has this one between parentheses so i will simply
01:04cancel this you need to prepare a live medium for this i will skip it for now
01:16since i was not asked to do it in case the viewer disagrees with this he can tell me in
01:26the
01:26comments down below and we can make a video about making live media so let's make a virtual machine
01:35for this the steps here can be skipped since they are already fixed in case you want to install this
01:45on bare metal let's call it slackl like this slackl for the iso image others other here and it's downloads
02:02for you just plug in the live medium to your computer and i will tell you when to
02:12do the next thing this is the equivalent to plugging in the usb live medium this one we make it
02:27linux
02:31like this
02:56you can use efi if you're following me with making the virtual machine i'm gonna skip it i will tell
03:05you
03:05whenever we have something different with bios which is what will be used here
03:14and here we make this little bigger and we click finish let's start this
03:22once you plug in in case you're installing this on bare metal you need to hit
03:29it or press the button that takes you to the boot menu in most cases it's f12 i will show
03:38you that
03:40here i will press f12 although it's not needed and then you in the i press it already f12 in
03:49this
03:49menu you select the medium where the installation is in my case it's cd-roms i will press c in
03:57your case
03:57it may be something else sometimes the boot menu differs and it's just by choosing which one is
04:07prioritized whenever it is available in case it's not this the second one and the list is chosen like
04:15hard drive you can change that in case you have live medium that's always inserted on your computer
04:23i will press c here since it's cd-rom here i will choose english us enter
04:34the difference with slackware the first difference that we see here is that it has
04:41live desktop environment if i'm not mistaken aside from the boot menu which is of course different
04:47here let's press enter if you're looking for live desktop environment for the installation media of the
04:59different slackware distributions you have selix os and you have this one let's change the
05:12display resolution let's make it
05:21like this
05:24apply
05:27yeah keep this configuration and we've got
05:30the default desktop environment of matte sometimes so let's double click this local
05:39live installation which should take us to the installation itself
05:46i guess the password is one enter yes it is correct so the partition
05:58usually for the partition partitioning you must have or it is recommended to have a boot partition
06:09and then swap partition in case you wanted to or you can have file for your swap i made a
06:17video about it i
06:18it's in the description as well so here we make a new partition no we create partition table it's ms
06:35dos for mbr in case it is
06:38efi you select from this one gpt and then you click apply here
06:46you make a new partition you make a new partition for the boot partition as recommended it needs to be
07:00about 500 megabytes
07:04or maybe less since slackware tends to remove some of the
07:11kernel images at every update or upgrade so here let's click add
07:18and then we make another partition i will make it
07:25around five gigabytes and this will be
07:29the swap
07:32then we click add
07:33add for the file system of the boot partition if it is
07:39for efi it needs to be something like fat32 if i'm not mistaken or xfat
07:46and then here we make another partition we keep it x ext4 extended 4 i'm not gonna change anything in
07:54it
07:55you may want to have another partition for your home
08:00directory
08:03like this and then let's apply the changes in case you wanted to you don't allow you don't let this
08:10partition
08:12be as big as this you reduce the size and you add another one for your home
08:17partition
08:20if you're doing this on bare metal on one of your hard drives and you have
08:25important data make sure you back it up first since it's gonna be totally deleted
08:32so here copy location
08:37this discovered
08:40the new partition which was slash dev slash sda3 which is the only partition where it can install
08:48it skipped sda1 because the space is small
08:53home location it's gonna be i'm not sure if this is a good choice or it needs
09:04okay it's it's clear now it says if you want to use a home partition to another disk then choose
09:10one from
09:11here otherwise leave it empty you keep it empty copy location i didn't find it
09:20this probably is for the boot partition
09:26ext4 you can change also the file file system type from there
09:34here you change language
09:37i'll keep it like the way it is keyboard
09:42yeah this is the one that i want in your case choose the one that you want
09:49the root password make sure you choose a strong password there username
09:59let's
10:04i'll call it slack l the user password like this like this
10:21if you want to choose elilo as a bootloader click this one i'll keep it grab system clock
10:30synchronize now
10:42okay here
10:48full installation
11:06okay we need this one to have at least five characters
11:35then we click install live system if i'm not mistaken to install this distribution
11:40it's actually my first time
11:44and we can see that the progress bar is getting filled
11:52after waiting some time we get this message saying that the installation is completed we click here okay
12:00okay i guess we're ready to restart the system so let's restart it
12:11shut down
12:14restart
12:27we take out the live medium unplug it and we got our grab menu here
12:38and we press enter we press enter to select one of the entries
12:46yes type the password to log in
12:59that's and we have the check
13:20if there is no option
13:20let's do it
13:38Internet works.
13:53I forgot the package manager that is used here, maybe SLPKG, one of Slackware's package managers.
14:06Yeah, SLPKG is something similar to Salix OS.
14:22This one is similar to update.
14:27And then upgrade.
14:33Similar to apt-upgrade, they made this package manager as similar as possible to apt.
14:45This is NeoFetch, Htop I guess is installed.
14:53Yes.
15:10Let's install anything.
15:15Yeah, can't find it.
15:18Vim.
15:22Yes.
15:29Ah, here it didn't take the partition slash dev slash sda as the boot partition if I'm
15:36not mistaken.
15:37Let's check the FS tab.
15:43Yes, it didn't.
15:45We can do it ourselves if needed.
15:50We can do it.
15:54But I guess I would keep it for another video.
15:58Or in your case, you may need to skip making the partition for boot and make it all one partition
16:06like it happened to me.
16:10I'm signing out and peace.
