FritzNet

FritzNet is a blog of my path to freedom from Micro$oft. I'm embarking on trip into the Open Source movement. In this blog, I will be documenting my plans, successes and failures.

Moved /home

I found that Slackware will look at your partitions and ask about additional partitions on your drive while installing. I started installing it, ran cfdisk and set up 3 partitions. When I installed Slackware, it saw that extra partition and asked if it was to use it for anything. I told it to use it for /home and it proceded normally.

The kernel download finally finished. I didn't have time last night to install. I did pull down the other file that's required. I need to do the patch also. I didn't know anything about a patch, but it's a small file. I came up with Digital Hermit How-To and the Kernel Trap How-To. These are the first places I found anything about a patch. I didn't know what that was all about when I was downloading.

I also burned a new CD for the Build a Minimal System from Source project. I thought I only pulled the 2.6.10 kernel patch, but I had the kernel itself as well. After I get a bit more familiar with linux, I'm going to give that a try. That will probably be on the 300 MHz. But I'm not sure.

After all that, I'll do the Linux From Scratch project. I have the book and CD, so I'm way ahead already. I just don't want to do this without having a background. I want to learn a lot with this.
