Just installed this SOHO 5.1.1 on my laptop, sick of waiting for RR4 and SuSE 10.1, so I have been installing a bunch, and I have to say thi sis the first new one I kind of like. Though I seem to be missing something in terms of how to get more software. It looks like the only repos I see are the vecotr linux repos and mirrors. It came with KDE 3.4.3, I want 3.5.1, does Vector Linux have other software repositories rather than the main one and how would I go about setting them in glsapt?

Or is it left to, you don't unless you compile it all yourself?

Nope, for a KDE 3.5.1, all you need to do is download the Slackware Packages from the KDE 3.5.1 Info Page on the KDE Website (http://www.kde.org/info/3.5.1.php#binary). Then remove the original KDE packages and install the new ones.

No need to compile from source.

For repositories, I think http://www.linuxpackages.net is a good one.

Awesome, that worked. I knew it was based on Slackware 10.2, I dind't know that would mean all packages would cross over. Thanks.

Now I just need to find a place to get Xorg 7.0, and better ATI drivers(for my 7500, which means not propietay, damn it).

How about this link: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=417112

It's a problem about Xorg and ATI Drivers me and others have been working on, some good info there.

Well, my issue there is Radeon 8500+ will handle this just fine, and I can do that. But with lower than the 8500, it won't install. I have seen a few people try workarounds, but I have yet to see anyone repeatably successfully. Instead, there are a ton of workarounds...

Is your card covered by proprietory drivers?

If it isn't I have done this for my ATI Rage 128:

- Reconfigure your Xorg (optional)

- Make sure these lines are uncommented and configured correctly:
