I just run this Slackware from a bootable DVD. Everzthing important is on board, gparted for changing partitions, mc, krusader, etc.The GUI is nice too, it requires a password, even to enter the win partitions etc. The only thing I did not find was a manual way to update it from DVD The problem is that I could not boot with german kezboard lazout *just to show you, I know the position of most US characters by heart* and that it uses the KDE monster, (I think Plasma) with the result that the DVD needed a very very long time to boot up. Working with it from DVD makes no fun. |

A new installation of all OSes in a virtual machine with Win10 settings (and no old bootmanager) - and it works. But on real machines it is sometimes not so easy. |
