This FAQ entry might help:

If you can't wait, you could try running -current.

- install Slackware-9.1
- download 2.6.x, and compile/install.
- install all packages with security updates

No, I will not fix your computer! I can reformat your harddisk, though.

Well, I've been running Slackware-current with the 2.6 kernel for ages now, and
its as solid as a rock!

However, I *may* be getting my hands on an amd64 soon, and don't fancy
recompiling *everything* from scratch! The only distros that currently seem to
support the amd64 "out-of-the-box" at present are Mandrake (flaky on past
experience) and Suse (Slightly odd, and questionable hardware detection on
previous experience). Plus maybe Gentoo? (Unknown quantity!)

Is anyone out there working on a Slack-64 variation?

Hi,

I have an AMD64 proc, and use Slack since so many years... I don't plan
to change.
I try to make a slack 64, but with no success at the moment.

What I start to do is to install an Gentoo 64 to have a CC able to build
x86-64 binaries.
I compiled some packages, need to adapt some build files, but I am
unable to have a CC working ! it was compiled, but it doesn't work...

If you plan to try also, I'm ok to work on this (I think I am unable to
do it myself).

Marc.
