Load OS to RAM?
Just been playing with SLAX, and my old 500Mhz AMD box ran quite well with it, considering it was loaded with KDE. The dualcore was like a light switch. Pop! Whatever I wanted was just there.

Can't read CD
Hi I have a Slackware 13 installation on an Acer laptop. I'v never had a problem reading CD-ROMs before but one I got with a printer doesn't seem to work.

KDE CD Player?
Am I just dense, or is there no KDE program shipped with Slackware 13.0 that will play a music or audiobook CD-ROM? In KDE 3.5, there was KsCD, but that seems to be missing in KDE 4.2. I've looked at Amarok 2, JuK, and XMMS, but none of them seem to be able to play CDs. I see that the CLI program workbone is inc... 14 Mar 2010 19:51

Hi, I have succesfully burned Slackware 13.0 DVD and installed the system. In order to browse the contents of the disk I mount it as follows: # mount /dev/dvd0 /mnt/dvd -t cdfs # mount /mnt/dvd/sessions_1-1.iso /mnt/cdrom -t auto -o loop Is there a less sophisticated way of mounting, while # mount /dev/dv... 16 Mar 2010 18:33

Various sound problems
I've been having a few problems with sound lately: 1. The PCM channel is available in alsamixer, but not kmix. This went away with the latest round of KDE updates. 2. The master channel does not turn off the sound when set to zero. It gets lower, but not low enough. The PCM channel has to be turned down ... 12 Mar 2010 05:00
