Installed Zenwalk, What are next steps to get a browser installed and working?
 
It boots up quick and looks nice...

But it doesn't seem to come with a default browser, and the flathub option doesn't work.

How do I get it up to date and install a browser?

All the youtube examples stop at the end of the install...

I've never used it.

I just installed zenwalk using all the default options, xfce and chromium were installed by default.

zenwalk's package tool is called netpkg.

there was an error and chromium failed extraction during the install saying it was corrupt

checked, looks like bad md5

$ md5sum zenwalk-current-15.0-200703a.iso
b97d0c912f5e453399cee8cd102700ba zenwalk-current-15.0-200703a.iso

$ cat zenwalk-current-15.0-200703a.iso.md5
c7ead3c0cecb1081446de0f40d3ffa16 zenwalk-current-15.0-200703a.iso


Not sure what I'm going to do, but thanks for the ideas/links :)

I suspect just a bad download. Download again, verify and reinstall is one option.

Yup, your suggestion was correct. I downloaded it again, and this time the MD5 was correct, and it installed and is working.

Next I need to figure out if it automatically checks for updates or not, and if not do something about it.

Thanks again.
