How to install Slint64 14.2.1
Screen-by-screen Instructions

This tutorial shows how to install Slint Linux (version 14.2.1.2) with
the "screen-by-screen" method aimed at new Linux users, mainly for those
who rely on speech and/or Braille to read the screen. It has been written by
Pawel Loba.

Step 01: Download:
Please download the Slint ISO image from the following link:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/iso/slint64-14.2.1.3-rc4.iso
You can check its sha256 checksum:
8089054988108476b1e25d8b1a8573a78f6ba1541974c90e9cc556860a11b3c6

When you will read this document a new ISO culd have been released. Check here:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/iso/

Step 02: Creating the installation USB:

Please get the minimum 4 GB USB stick ready for our installation.

A) For Windows users:

1. Download Rufus from the following website:

https://rufus.ie/

2. Open the Rufus program from where you downloaded it to run it.

3. Select Create a bootable disk using and choose ISO Image from the
drop-down menu. Click the disc icon and browse to your Slint .iso file
and select it.

4. To ensure the flash drive is compatible with UEFI, select FAT32 for
"File System".

5. To create the flash drive with the "Press any key to boot from USB"
prompt, select the Create extended label and icon files option.

6. When you are done selecting options, click Start When prompted,
confirm that you want to erase the flash disk.

7. The .iso files will start copying to the flash drive (the process can
take several minutes). When Rufus is done, close the program and eject
and remove the flash drive.

B) For Linux users:

At the console run the following commands:

to verify your USB drive:

lsblk -o model,name,size,fstype,mountpoint

Carefully review the commands to make sure that you did not type the
name of a hard disk partition instead of the name of your USB stick. All
previous content of the USB stick or a mistaken hard disk partition will
be LOST and IRRECOVERABLE. 

Let's assume that the name of the USB stick be /dev/sdb/. 
It could be named otherwise so don't copy blindly the following command
but adapt it to the actual name of the device.
To write the Slint ISO to a USB stick that resides at /dev/sdb type:
cp slint64-14.2.1.2.iso /dev/sdb

Wait until you get back the prompt. This will take several minutes.

Step 03:
Insert your Slint installation USB stick into your system and boot from
it.

After a few seconds You should hear your system talking to you

We will now present the screens as they are displayed, and talked.

Not all screens are displayed in all cases, so we will present the ones
displayed in most cases, followed by comments about it when needed. The
comments are preceded by a line with three hyphens to distinguish them
from the display, like this one:
---

Screen 00:
==========
Please type enter to use the sound board <sound board name>
---
The message above is displayed only if the machine has several sound
cards, probing them until one usable during installation be found.

This message is displayed for each sound card found. As soon as hear it,
press Enter as maybe this is the last working one and each card is
probed only once. If you missed that, just reboot to restart the
installation

Screen 01:
==========
This installer has speech and Braille device support in order
to be accessible to visually impaired users. To have speech turned
on during installation type S, then press [enter]. Else, just press Enter.
==========

Screen 02:

To display keyboard shortcuts for reviewing the screen with speech
press R, then press [Enter],
Else, just press [Enter]:
---
If you press r the screen 03 is displayed, else directly the screen 04

Screen 03:
==========
To quit this screen and go back to installation press Q then Enter.
We present below the two series of key bindings.
In Desktop mode, the keys on the numeric keypad are used.
In Laptop mode other keys replace them.
1. In desktop mode the key named Ins below is the key Insert or 0 on the
numeric keypad. It acts like a shift key. For instance "Ins_4" means:
"hold down the Ins key like a shift key and press 4".
Keep numlock off to use Speakup.
The numbered keys listed below are located on the numeric keypad.
1/2/3    Say Previous/Current/Next character
4/5/6    Say Previous/Current/Next word
Ins_5    Spell current word
7/8/9    Say Previous/Current/Next line
Ins_4    Say from left edge of line to reading cursor.
Ins_6    Say from reading cursor to right edge of line.
Ins_8    Say from top of screen to reading cursor.
Ins_+    Say from reading cursor line to bottom of screen.
+        Say entire screen.
Ins_F1    Speakup Help (press Space to exit)
2. In laptop mode The CapsLock key replaces the Ins key.
CapsLock_(m/comma/dot) Say Previous/Current/Next character
CapsLock_(j/k/l)       Say Previous/Current/Next word
Spell current word # Screen doesn't show 'CapsLock_k'
CapsLock_(u/i/o)       Say Previous/Current/Next line
CapsLock_h             Say from left edge of line to reading cursor.
CapsLock_semicolon     Say from reading cursor to right edge of line.
CapsLock_y             Say from top of screen to reading cursor.
CapsLock_p             Say from reading cursor line to bottom of screen.
CapsLock_apostrophe    Say entire screen.
CapsLock_F1            Speakup Help (press Space to exit)
---
It can happen that the display above be split in two. In this case press
the page down key to continue to the second screen.

If you want to display this screen again, you can, after having logged
in as root (as indicated below in Screen 08), at any time press Ctrl+F2
to switch to another terminal, press Enter to login there then type:
inst
To go back to installation from there, just press Ctrl+F1.

Please take a note of the main shortcuts before going further, like to
say the current line either 8 on the numeric keypad (keeping numlock
off), or CapsLock+u in laptop mode; or to say the current word 5 on the
numeric keypad or CapsLock+k in laptop mode.
Generally, if the screen presents a choice among several options, the
cursor will be initially positioned on the default one.

Screen 05:
==========
Please select the language to use for
installation.

English (USA)
Dutch
French
German
Greek
Italian
Norwegian
Polish
Portuguese (Brazil)

---
We will assume that you want to install in English.

Unless you scrolled down before booting to start the installer using
another language, English (USA) should be selected; in case it is not,
press the home key to jump to the top of the list to select English
language since this is the first one in the list. 
You can press the down arrow key followed by the enter key to select the
language you'd like to use for your installation if it is not English.

Screen 06:
==========
<OPTION TO LOAD SUPPORT FOR ANOTHER KEYBOARD>

If you not are using a us keyboard map you may load another one now.
To select a different keyboard map, please enter 1 now.
To continue using the "us" keyboard map, just hit [enter].

Enter 1 to select a keyboard map:
---
The keyboard map presented matches the selected language.
Here "us" matches English (USA).

If you press 1 followed by the enter key you will be presented with a
list of different keyboard maps with "qwerty/us.map" being
selected by default. 

Here, you need to use the up/down arrow to go through the list of
keyboard maps and then press the enter key to execute your selection. 
After making your selection the next screen show up with the message as
follows:

Screen 07:
==========
OK, the new map is now installed. You may now test it by typing 
anything you want. To quit testing the keyboard, enter 1 on a
line by itself to accept the map and go on, or 2 on a line by 
itself to reject the current keyboard map and select a new one.
---
In this example, we stay with "qwerty/us.map" so type 1 and press the
enter key to carry on with the installation.

Screen 08:
==========
Welcome to the Slint Linux installation media! (version \${Version})

######  IMPORTANT!  READ THE INFORMATION BELOW CAREFULLY.  ######

On the device where Slint will be installed you will need:
- at least one partition of type 'Linux', of size at least 20G,
  for the system itself (not counting the user files).
- if the device has a GPT layout, a small (4M) partition of type ef02
  (BIOS Boot partition) to install GRUB on this drive in Legacy mode.
- an EFI System partition, of type ef01, to install GRUB in EFI mode,
  of size at least 100M, unless you want to use an existing one.

It is recommended that you have a swap partition (type 'Linux swap')
prior installation, but you can also set up a swap file afterwards.

On the next screen we will present the tools you can use to partition
the device.

You may now login as 'root'.

---
Just type the word "root" and press the Enter key.

screen 09:
==========
To partition your device(s), you can use 'cfdisk' or 'fdisk' and also,
only for a GPT layout, 'cgdisk' or 'gdisk'. 'parted' is also available.
TIP: to enhance accessibility of cgdisk, use its -a option.

If you partition a new device, we recommend that you set up a gpt (GUID
partition label) for it, for more flexibility.

You can also let the installer auto-partition a device, if and only if:
1. Its size is of least 30G.
2. You agree that this device will be dedicated to Slint.
3. You agree that all data currently stored on it will be erased.
4. None of the partitions it could include is mounted.
WARNING: if it has already been used, make a back-up first!

After having used the auto-partitioning feature, you will be allowed to
make changes, like adding another partition to the drive.

For an auto-partitioning type now 'auto'.

To start the main installation (after partitioning), type 'setup'.
root@slackware:/#
---
We will use the "fdisk" tool to show how to partition a hard drive.
You may run any other suggested tool instead, or just type 'auto'.

First, to make sure which device we partition run the following command:

lsblk -l -o name,size,type,fstype

Carefully verify (using the Speakup review keys if necessary) that the
device (or "disk") you will select is the one where you want to install
Slint. 

In this example below we assume that it is "sda", and that it will be
dedicated to Slint.  

If you re-use a device that had a partition table that you want to
wipe out before creating a new one, first make sure that you do not want
to keep any existing data on this device, or make a proper back up.

The following screen will include the contents and commands executed
within the "fdisk" tool window.

This is an interactive tool: after you start it with this command:
fdisk  /dev/sda
each of the further commands is interpreted by parted itself.
When it is ready to execute a new command it displays this prompt:
Command (m for help):
Then you type the new command on the same line, after the prompt.
More generally, each prompt ends with a ':' after which we type the next
command (often a single character). 

On screen 10 we present an example of sequence of commands.

We comments some lines of display appending following them by a line
beginning with "#", like this:
# This is a Comment about previous line, do not type it. 

The first output will include two more lines if the device has not
partition table yet. This is just an information, don't worry.

root@slackware:#

We have chosen a partition type of GPT, that can handle disks of more
than 2TB. Other layouts as of course possible. Including an EFI System
partition and  a Bios Boot partition allows to boot in both modes, EFI
and Legacy, if the machine allows it.

In this example /dev/sda4 is the root partition to install Slint on.

Instead of creating a swap partition, you may prefer to set up a swap
file in the root partition after installation, of which you can later
change the size: this provides more flexibility.

Some machines can't boot in Legacy mode if the layout include a BIOS
Boot partition. In this case it is preferable to boot in EFI mode if
possible, else to set up a dos partition table instead of a gpt

The drive being now partitioned to our liking, we can start the Slint
installation process typing setup at the prompt, like below:

root@slackware:# setup

This will display screen 11. 

screen 11: Slint Linux Setup:
==========
Scanning your system for partition information.

We move with the down arrow key to select "ADDSWAP" option followed by
the Enter key.

Screen 12 SWAP SPACE DETECTED:
==========
Slint setup has detected one or more swap partitions on
your system.  This partitions have been preselected to
be set up as swap space.  If there are any swap 
partitions that you do not wish to use with this
installation, please unselect them with the up and down 
arrows and spacebar.  If you wish to use all of them
(this is recommended), simply hit the ENTER key.

With Speakup review keys mentioned above if need be we may verify
selection of the swap drive seeing "star" in front of the selected
partition(s). We need to press the Enter key to continue.

Screen 13 CHECK SWAP PARTITION FOR BAD BLOCKS?:
==========
Slint setup will now prepare your system's swap
space.  When formatting swap partitions with 
mkswap you may also check them for bad blocks.
This is not the default since nearly all modern
hard drives check themselves for bad blocks
anyway. Would you like to check for bad blocks
while running mkswap?
< Yes > < No >
---
We agree here with default "no" so we press the Enter key to go ahead
with our Slint setup.

Screen 14 SWAP SPACE CONFIGURED:
==========
Your swapspace has been configured. This information will be added to your
/etc/fstab:
/dev/sda3	swap	swap	default	0 0

< OK >
---
We need to confirm this with the enter key here and continue with
setting up root Linux partition.

Screen 15 Select Linux installation partition:

We confirms  the "format Quick format with no bad blocks checking"
selection by default so we press the Enter key here and partition
/dev/sda2 will be formatted.

Screen 17 SELECT FILESYSTEM FOR /dev/sda4:
==========
Please select the type of filesystem to use for the specified device.
Here are descriptions of the available filesystems: Ext2 is the
traditional Linux file system and is fast and stable. Ext3 is the 
journaling version of the Ext2 file system. Ext4 is the successor to 
the Ext3 filesystem. JFS is IBM's Journaled Filesystem, currently
used in IBM enterprise servers. ReiserFS is a journaling filesystem
that stores all files and filenames in a balanced tree structure. XFS
is SGI's journaling filesystem that originated on IRIX.

ext2	Standard Linux Ext2 Filesystem
ext3	Ext3 journaling Filesystem
ext4	Ext4 journaling Filesystem

Since "YES" is the default selection here and we would like to install
GRUB we press the enter key.

Screen 28 INCLUDE EXTRA PARAMETERS IN THE BOOT COMMAND LINE?:
==========
You might need extra parameters to be included in the boot command
of the installed system. If you typed parameters before booting
the Slint installer, you will probably want to enter the same ones
here, If you don't need any extra parameter to be included, just
press ENTER to continue.
---
IF one has any hardware synthesizer or older serial-connected Braille
display the appropriate parameters should be included in this line.
We press the enter key to continue since we have nothing to add here. 
We need to watch upcoming information on the screen regarding GRUB
installation. If there are no errors we will see next screen.

However, if you have an USB mouse connected during installation the
installer will skip the next screen as then it can do the associated
setting automatically.

Screen 28 MOUSE CONFIGURATION:
==========
This part of the configuration process will create a /dev/mouse link
pointing to your default mouse device. You can change the /dev/mouse 
link later if the mouse doesn't work, or if you switch to a different
type of pointing device. We will also use the information about the
mouse to set the correct protocol for gpm, the Linux mouse server.

address is assigned by a DHCP server (commonly use by cable modem and DSL
services), select "DHCP".  If you do not have a network card, select the 
"loopback" choice.  You may also select "NetworkManager" if you would like
to have the NetworkManager daemon automatically handle your wired and
wireless network interface (this is simple and usually works). Which type
of network setup would you like?

static IP	Use a static IP address to configure ethernet
DHCP	Use a DHCP server to configure ethern
