    • Requirements

  • Language: English Only.

  • Minimun Requirements:
    Pentium II 266mhz computer with 128mb memory and 24x CDROM.

  • Ideal System for Floyd Linux:
    Pentium III 733mhz computer with 256mb memory and 40x CDROM.

  • Floyd Linux Should run good on AMD K6, Duron, Athlon, AthlonXP, Sempron, Athlon64, Via, Pentium III, Pentium4, and Celeron computers of 266mhz CPU or faster. Floyd Linux should run on almost all dektop and notebook computers except for Apple.

  • Getting Started:
    Put the Floyd Linux CD in your CDROM and restart your computer. If Floyd Linux fails to start, you need to change the boot order so the CDROM is the first boot device. You make these changes in "Setup" in your computer. To access "Setup", keep clicking on the delete key, or F2 key when you first start your computer. Some newer computers you press F10 to enter Setup. It takes a minute or two for Floyd Linux to fully boot.

    Now you must understand that a live CD will not run real fast and will sometimes freeze when you try to run several programs at the same time.

    Some offbeat video cards will cause problems. If after booting the CD, the screen is blank or all garbled, try the below cheat codes. It is really easy. Reboot the computer. When the CD first starts, press the F1 key several times.
    Now type: slax noagp
    ....then press enter.

    If that does not work, repeat the process, but this time type: slax guisafe
    ....then press enter.


    • Tips

  • How to run Klam Virus Scan: Access Klam by Kmenu > Utilities > Klamav. With Klam open, click on update > update now. Make sure you have an internet connection to get the updates. Now click on the Scan tab. Double click on "mnt" and choose the drive with MS Windows on it. The drive is normally hda or hda1. If you have an SATA hard drive it should be sda or sda1. Now click on the "Scan" button. Watch it work! Awesome!

  • Hard Drive Install: If you need to partition your hard drive, use the QTParted program. To access it, click on the Kmenu > click on "Run Command". Now type qtparted and hit enter. QTParted is very easy to use. The ext2 file system works the best.

    You should have at least 1.8gb of space allowed for hard drive install.

    The SLAX installer button is in your home folder.

    If you have never installed linux before, you must read the newbie tips at www.homedistro.com.

  • Dial-up modem: Linux will not work with most softmodems or winmodems. You need a true hardware modem. US Robotics 2976 and 2977 oem modems are good ones. Most external modems that connect to a serial port are hardware modems. Read the box. If it will work with a Apple (Mac) computer, it will normally work with Linux. KPPP is the dial-up software in Floyd Linux.

  • DSL or ADSL internet connection: It is easy to setup. Go to Kmenu > System > Terminal program(Konsole). When you have the Konsole open, type adsl-setup hit enter key, then give your account info. You can type adsl-start in Konsole to connect. You can also access Konsole by clicking on that thing that looks like a small TV next to the Kmenu button on the panel.

    For other network connections go to the control center and Slackins Slack setup.

  • Scanners and multifunction printers: Make sure your device is hooked up and turned on. In the Konsole terminal program type: xscanimage and it will walk you through setup. If you have a scanner/printer combo, you also need to go to the control center and add printer.

    Disclaimer: Floyd Linux is beta software. Sometimes when you have bleeding edge new software, things don't always work right or can break. Floyd Linux carries no warranty or support of any kind, and you are using it at your own risk. We are not responsable for broken office furniture, injured pets, or beaten room mates. (hahaha). Enjoy!
