Hi,

Thanks, but you must have found an old site or one not edited by me. The download link at http://multibootcd.exton.net works.

Do you remember where you found the faulty download link?

NEWS 140304
A new version of Exton|OS is ready. I have corrected some minor errors in the first version from 140225.

ExTiX 14 has now (131230) advanced to place 7 on Distrowatch.coms popularity list for the past seven days. (The listing of the 100 currently most "popular" Linux systems).

You got me worried so I simply had to check my kernel on a new Slackware 14.1 installation. Worked perfectly (as I assumed). This is my lilo.conf file.

Please note that I had to add "lba32". Otherwise one gets errors when running /sbin/lilo.

Please note also that my kernel can be useful if you want to build your own live Slackware system with Linux live scripts.

Then your download of "my" kernel must have gone wrong. Did you check the zip-file with md5sum?

Which Slackware system do you have?

What do you mean by "did not load"? What do you use as boot manager? (Grub Legacy, Grub2 or what?). For the kernel "to load" you must of course change your boot loader configuration.

If you didn't get any error messages while installing the kernel it must work.

"My" kernel,which is used in ExTiX 13 version 131109, can be downloaded and installed in all modern Debian 64 bit systems.
