Installing and using Slackware is really quite simple once you get the hang of it, especially when you start thinking like a Linux user instead of someone jumping straight from Windows I’d recommend getting a copy of the Slackware book, which covers most aspects of the OS and how to use if efficiently. The most recent official version (2.0) is a bit outdated, so it doesn’t cover topics such as installing from the DVD ISO or the 64-bit version of Slackware, but this is pretty straight forward anyways. (It is available here: http://www.slackbook.org/)

Once you’ve skimmed through the parts of how to install Slackware, you’re good to go! Grab yourself a copy of the DVD ISO of the most recent version of Slackware (13.37 as of writing) and download the version that fits your CPU architecture (32/64 bit).

If I were to give you a small advice based on personal experience while installing Slackware, you should decide to do a “full” install of Slackware when asked, and not select the “Newbie” answer. This installs the Slackware packages (about 4 GB) without prompting. Selecting the “Newbie” answer prompts you for every single package that is being installed, and gives you a description of the package as well. It is definitely useful once you have mastered the basics of Slackware, but I wouldn’t recommend it for “Newbies”

If you need any help, the people at the IRC channel #Slackware of the Freenode network are glad to be of assistance. I’ve also noticed there exists videos on Youtube which guides you through the install process – like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIXX0cJ4a9Q

PS. When you have installed Slackware, check out http://slackbuilds.org for installation scripts of popular third party software. These packages are also semi-official, as all the install scripts are approved by someone closely knitted, or part of, the Slackware team.

Fikk nettopp bruk for dette, og synes jeg kunne huske at du hadde skrevet noe om det! Når man kjører m4-kommandoen, må man også passe på å stå i “/usr/share/sendmail/cf/cf/”, da .mc-fila inkluderer en annen fil ved hjelp av relativ filbane

i used
cmus-remote -Q 2>/dev/null | grep “tag artist ” | cut -d ” ” -f 3-

and if any one wants to get album art from cmus and display in conky I find this script works very well:

#!/bin/bash
artist=`cmus-remote -Q 2>/dev/null | grep “tag artist ” | cut -d ” ” -f 3-`
album=`cmus-remote -Q 2>/dev/null | grep album | cut -d ” ” -f 3-`
str=”`echo “$artist $album” | sed -e s/\\ /+/g`”
wget `wget “http://www.albumart.org/index.php?srchkey=$str&itempage=1&newsearch=1&searchindex=Music” -q -O – |
grep “http://www.albumart.org/images/zoom-icon.jpg” -m 1 |
sed -e ‘s/” border=”0″ class=”image_border.*//’ |
sed -e ‘s/.*img src=”//’` -q -O /home/USER/.album

It will use the ‘artist’ and ‘album’ to search albumart.org and it will download the first image and save it in your home folder as ‘.album’. (you need edit USER in the last line).

save it as ‘albumart’ (or whatever you want) and make it executable
then add these line to conky:
${exec /path/to/albumart}
${image /home/deltron/.album -p 40,150 -s 150×150 -f 5}

adjust as needed.

I got it (and modified it from a rhythmbox script) from here:
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/3728/images-in-conky-specifically-rhythmbox-album-art/

I’m using cmus v2.3.3
And when I run cmus-remote -Q in a terminal I get (this is just the relevent piece):

position 153
tag artist Gov’t Mule
tag album The Deep End Vol 2
tag title World of Confusion
tag date 2002
tag genre Southern Rock
tag tracknumber 06
set aaa_mode artist

and when i run ‘cmus-remote -Q 2>/dev/null | grep artist | cut -d ” ” -f 3-’ in a terminal i also get:

Gov’t Mule
artist

But it only happens with “artist”, not album or genre or year or anything else i have tried.
