- * Adding X to BasicLinux *
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- The following installation scheme is designed for inexperienced users.
- It avoids configuration problems by using a pre-configured Xserver
- (VGA) and window manager (icewm). 13mb of HD space is needed for the
- installation.
-
- You need six packages from Slackware 7.1 <slack71.htm>: *xbin*,
- *xcfg*, *xfnts*, *xlib*, *xvg16* and *xpm*. All of them are in the
- */slakware/x1* directory. You also need bl2-x <bl2-x.tgz> a special
- package for BasicLinux. All seven packages are installed using the
- Slackware package manager:
-
- installpkg xbin.tgz
- installpkg xcfg.tgz
- installpkg xfnts.tgz
- installpkg xlib.tgz
- installpkg xvg16.tgz
- installpkg xpm.tgz
- installpkg bl2-x.tgz
- startx
-
- This provides 640x480x16 resolution. To get better resolution, you will
- need to replace the generic *xvg16* with the specific Xserver for your
- video card (this may require complex configuration). You should also
- consider adding 100-dpi fonts (*xf100.tgz*) and scaled fonts (*xfscl.tgz*).
-
-
- _Freecell_
- xfreecell is a clone of the solitare game popularized by Windows 95. A
- version for BasicLinux is available here <bl1/xfreecell.tgz>. It takes
- less than 1mb of HD space.
-
- installpkg xfreecell.tgz
- startx
-
-
- Execute Freecell from the icewm menu.
