Should be done during installation:

  • partitions
  • /etc/fstab
  • /etc/mdadm.conf
  • /etc/mkinitrd.conf
  • /boot/grub/grub.cfg
  • /etc/hosts
  • /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
  • Software series:
    • server: a ap d e f k l n t tcl x y (i.e., all except for kde kdei xap xfce)
    • desktop: add xap and removet (to be replaced with TeX Live)

After installation

  • Replace /etc/termcap with the termcap file from the xterm source because it has the xterm-256color entry
  • # ln -sf /usr/bin/vim /usr/bin/vi
  • # chmod -x /etc/profile.d/bsd-games-login-fortune.sh
  • /etc/resolv.conf
  • /etc/profile.d/lang.sh (and towards the end comment out "export LC_COLLATE=C")
LANG=ru_RU.utf8
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8
LC_TIME=en_GB.utf8
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.utf8
LC_MONETARY=en_US.utf8
export LANG LC_MESSAGES LC_TIME LC_NUMERIC LC_MONETARY
  • /root/.bashrc:
source /etc/profile
[ -f "$HOME/.bash_profile" ] && source "$HOME/.bash_profile"
  • Remove lilo
  • Disable unneeded rc-files, e.g., # chmod -x rc.acpid rc.alsa rc.consolekit rc.gpm-sample rc.wireless
  • Configure a mirror and install all patches
  • # slackpkg install bash-completion
  • Install and configure slackpkg+
