HPR3303: Slackware on RaspberryPi

Summary: a little history slackware on arm started by stuart winter in 2002 became an official port of slackware in 2009 lots of info at the video podcast on youtube why choose slackware can do minimal installs easy education stable and secure who should avoid slackware unwilling or unable to read and follow directions if you think your leet when you use apt instead of apt-get if you think commands like dd are 'scary' howto there is no official port of slackware arm to raspberrypi i think this is because of raspberrypi has a non standard way of booting compared to most arm devices community has stepped in on the slackware documentation project website there are 'manual' install projects took a while, had to download firmware from the raspberrypi project itself quite a bit of cleanup this is the guide if you want slackware on a pi-zero link to the sarpi project guy named phil project lead, started in 2012 the sarpi project is also a manual process even if you don't do this you should look at the website content, this is the way to do a tutorial after you download the sources this install is exactly like any other slackware install when you get to the package selection its easy to customize after install you have a complete development environment be prepared to up your search foo many packages can be built from slackbuilds The only mistakes you can't learn from are, your own fatal mistakes Links http://arm.slackware.com/ https://sarpi.fatdog.eu/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCabC1NZDGA3FZXf2hQ-6uyA/featured http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:hardware:arm:start https://slackbuilds.org
