I finally managed to get Slackware 10.1 running well. For the most part it was smooth sailing, but I had an ugly issue with ALSA and my sound cart that gave me plenty of grief unitl I got it fixed. I expect to post more details tomorrow.
I would also like to thank MeanDean of blogs4God.com for fixing the 403 error. I really appreciate his help and friendly spirit.
Expect more tomorrow…
