Download the LiveCD (<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/salix/files/13.0/" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/projects/salix/files/13.0/</a>)<br>
and use the GUI installer along with GParted to install Salix. Then<br>
click 'install multimedia codecs' in the menu to have Gslapt install them.<br>
<br>
Salix OS is fully backward compatible with Slackware and uses the<br>
slapt-get package management (like apt-get) with Slackware's .tgz/.txz<br>
package format, but adds dependency resolution capabilities. Gslapt<br>
provides a GUI frontend for slapt-get.<br>
<br>
Salix does use lilo, but GRUB 2 is available for install according to<br>
the roadmap (<a href="http://www.salixos.org/wiki/index.php/SalixLive_Roadmap" target="_blank">http://www.salixos.org/wiki/index.php/SalixLive_Roadmap</a>).<br>
<br>
oh, I bought a 'Slackware Unleashed' or some such a year or so back<br>
because it had a Slackware 3.5(?) CD included and I wanted it because it<br>
was the oldest I could remember that started using ELF binaries at the<br>
time. :)<br>
