Slackware installation notes

Read Original

This article is a technical walkthrough of reinstalling Slackware Linux 14.2 after a system accident. It covers the boot process, disk partitioning, setting up wireless networking with wicd, using slackpkg and sbopkg for package management, configuring the XFCE and Xmonad window managers, and installing development tools like Neovim, Haskell (for Xmonad), Perl modules, and the Elixir/Phoenix framework. It serves as a personal reference for a functional developer environment on Slackware.
