Call for testers: MLED 14.2 beta
 

Hi,

I've been very busy this last couple of weeks since the release of Slackware 14.2. Yesterday I've upload a huge batch of packages, and as of this morning, I'd say MLED 14.2 has reached beta status. Actually a highly usable beta, though I'll let you be the judge of that.

Some packages like Gnote or the whole KVM stack are still missing, as well as nearly all the Extras, but I guess the time has come to publicly test-drive everything. I'll add the rest during the days and weeks to come.

Here's the updated documentation for the upcoming MLED 14.2.

Feel free to give it a spin and send your comments and/or bug reports.

Cheers,

I'm testing it out now. Will let you know how it goes.

Everything installed beautifully. The only thing I didn't test was setting up the generic kernel as i usually just stay with the huge kernel. I noticed that when logging in the first time after the install that the desktop was set at default. Is there a way to set that to Xfce session beforehand, or maybe add something about it to the installation guide?

There is already a line about that in the installation guide.

And you really should move to the generic kernel. It's not a big deal to setup.

Cheers,

Niki
