'''WORKS OUT-OF-THE-BOX:'''

* The HugeSMP Kernel,
* Network with hostname and static IP,
* KDE, albeit  from runlevel 3
* Sound/music, Flash anims in Firefox, webradio


'''WORKS WITH INTERVENTION:'''

* NVidia drivers compiled fine,
* -> Resulting xorg.conf un-usable, re-worked with parameters from Fedora7
* --> Keyboard ''BE'', wheel mouse (MANUAL EDIT OF XORG.CONF.
* The other 3 kernels, if you build their initrd according to the README in /boot
* Enlightenment DR16, with self compilation of imlib2 and DR16 + epplets + keyedit - have to redo as slackpackage, I failed.
* vncviewer, using source + slackbuild and installed with 'installpkg'
* transmission, using source + slackbuild and installed with 'installpkg'
* mplayer went fine with slackbuilds.org
* clean terminal shell that doesn't jump to / with no bash prompt - achieved by pushing not only the .bax-src file, but a .profilerc too - seems slack wants to read the non-standard .profilerc rather than the usual .bashrc in your home directory.
* Audacity - compile error, exec error with GTK issues - I had to go for wxGTK, it failed with pyGTK. Not fully tested.
* VirtualBox 2.0.6 - complains from missing, unfindable, libraries - Sorted with 2.1.2, but 2.06 has USB working and 2.1.0 doesn't... yet to test more.


'''YET TO ACHIEVE/TRY/DO:'''

* Skype compile fine, '''but''' no microphone. ''Gosh alsamixer is superfluously obfuscated.''
* Webcam/GSPCA compile failure - kernel loads wrong module. Crashes skype.
* VLC - What's wrong with VLC you bunch o' Slackers? Can't seem to find it anywhere... the one from ~alien segfaults all the time.
* Better Memory Useage - artsd eats a lot, a minimal e16 workstation needs 1gig to run, that kills VirtualMachines.


'''BUGS:'''

* konsole transparency '''Fixed with new xorg.conf (?)'''
* Terminal isn't working '''Fixed with Full Fresh Install'''
* Konqueror doesn't know flash, swf.
* You are being asked your Keyboard Layout twice, it doesn't get to the xorg.conf. '''And again, and again: never - fixed myself manually'''
* Now you are proposed to do a thumbdrive starter, it doesn't work any better than the previous disquette system.'''And again, and again: never'''
* kwrite always exits with a crash.'''And again, and again: always, if not using kde'''
* transmissions doesn't calculate % achieved and remaining times.
* No firewall, machine is open to all'''And again, and again: always'''
* cups not working, error message '''Fixed with Full Fresh FAT Install'''

'''I re-installed all only twice.'''
