welcome to VL 6.0

[caballero]

I want to thank you for VL 6.0. I think it's a great linux distro, as usual in VL releases, also common speed in Slackware distros. This version has improved in stability, video hardware aceleration, look and feel... and, of course, the new graphic installation tools that is fantastic. Now, I want to ask you how can I access to windows from VL. I know that there is a package with multimedia tools, but is there also one with apache+mysql+php?. As we have now nvidia drivers running, what about video games like cube...

Thanks a lot

When you say "access Windows from VL" do you mean Windows files on a hard drive in the same computer VL is on or Windows files on a networked computer or something else? Assault Cube (if that's what you mean) can be downloaded via Gslapt.

Cube can be played in VL, as well as many other 3-D games. Of course this depends on how well your system can handle such games too.

apache+mysql+php may not be in one package, but you can search for those in glsapt.

To access your Windows partition, you need to make sure that it is mounting on boot. Use the Vector Control Center for this. Then you can open file manager and go into /mnt/windows (this is only an example, some prefer to name their mount something other than windows).

See you on Cube sometime

To access your Windows partition, you need to make sure that it is mounting on boot. Use the Vector Control Center for this.

The Windows partition doesn't need to be mounted at boot. It should just be listed in /etc/fstab for convenience. The drive can be mounted manually when you're ready to use it.
