Oolite On Slackw (Wolvix)

Post by capt.Pirk »

Just a quick report, but I now have fully accelerated Oolite.
Here's how:
1 ) Download Wolvix (I used cub 1.0.5). See link below:
http://alpha.crihosting.com/wolvix/wolv ... 5-beta.iso

2 ) Using the hd-installer, make standard/real install to disk.

3 ) Using GSlapt (in menus) install the following packages:
binutils, make, gcc, glibc.

4 ) Download Wolvix kernel source module using the link below:
http://wolvix.org/filebrowser/wolvix-1. ... .6.16.x.mo

5 ) Now extract and copy the source to /usr/src as follows:

mkdir /mnt/kernel-source
mount -o loop -t squashfs wolvix-1.0.5-kernel-sources-2.6.16.x.mo /mnt/kernel-source
cp /mnt/kernel-source/* /usr/src

6 ) Download and install NVidia driver of your choice:
http://www.nvidia.com/page/partner_cert ... ivers.html

7 ) Quit Xserver and install driver:-
sh NV* <enter>

8 ) Configure X:
modprobe nvidia
Type xconf or xorgsetup as needed.
*IF* you have problems, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make sure driver is "nvidia" not "nv".
Now re-start Xserver. You should see NVidia logo prior to desktop.

9 ) Download and install Oolite. See link below:

http://prdownload.berlios.de/oolite-lin ... 86.package

Now install:
sh oo*

If you cannot find menu entry, open terminl and type ' oolite ' <enter>

Enjoy! :-)
