Zenwalk Tune-Up

Simple steps to make Zenwalk works like magic...
1. Upon initial installation, go to Netpkg and select the
snapshot repository. Then update all the packages as
necessary. If you want to upgrade your kernel, make sure
to type lilo -v when is completed as root.
2. Set up your Firestarter firewall.
3. Go to your command line and install:
-netpkg jre
4. Also, I would install Google Chrome right away...
-http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/slackware/addon/slacky/slackware-13.0/network/google-chrome/4.0.249.11/

5. I like gslapt and add the following repository:
-http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/slackware/addon/slacky/slackware-13.0/

6. For some reason, gxine is the only dvd player that works in my system.
Install gxine using netpkg.

7. Codecs: Use gslapt to install libdvdcss.

8. For security, I like mcrypt and ccrypt.

9. Install also src2pkg and sbopkg to built your own .tgz packages.

10...This is all...for now. Enjoy Zenwalk!
