I would like to see what I left checked in the menu where the user is asked
what services he wants to provide with his installation.

But when I boot with the CD and select Configure (or whatever: the last item, I
believe) the highlight moves to Help and that's it. Any way around this?

This ,,configuration menu'' is a simple frontend to /etc/rc.d/rc.* scripts
(I mean, the network services-related ones). What it does is chmod 644 or
755 rc.foobar.

You probably did not mount your hard disk partition after booting from
install CD. Without this, how could setup know, what did you want to
configure?

You should:
1. boot from install CD 1
2. mount your Slackware root partition (i.e. mount /dev/hda2 /mnt)
3. *then* configure.

Just use pkgtool on the running system

Good point, I'm afraid. Feeling more than a little bit silly, here.

As a matter of fact, you must get to the setup menu, open a console (CTRL + ALT
+ F2) , issue the command "mount /dev/hdaX /mnt -t ext2", where X is the
partition you boot from, get back to the configure menu, (don't forget to
reenable hotplug!) and check your settings.

And so did I. All I have that is activated is lprng, which, I believe, is
essential even if I want to print only from a desktop.

But I still can't print, apparently because I can't ping localhost. Is there
any service I unchecled that I need to ping localhost?

I checked your answers, particuliarly in "Konqueror won't release CD". I
sometimes have the same problem and appreciated your answer. I will definitely
try your solution if the problems occurs again. I'd certainly take your advice
rather than Alan Hicks'ssssss on the same matter:

"So don't bitch here. It's a problem specifically with Konqueror, ask
the KDE gurus."

<10b797jbg7tt765@news20.forteinc.com>

Strangely, said Hicks poses as one of the most helpful member of the community,
since he's on this groups with a happy few others to give this kind kind of
advice almost 24 hour a day. He's participating to this New Book, Not a Single
Answer More, project: http://slackbook.lizella.net/

Go figure! It's all figured out for me!
