~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

login: root
password: [you are prompted to create one after first boot]

This is now possible over SSH after first boot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Server images (no window manager or desktop environment installed):
These are suggested if you want full control over what gets 
installed and are comfortable with a Slackware console.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Individual kernels are available in the kernels/ directory if you just need to
upgrade your kernel packages and/or boot files.

Kernels from the 4.4.y series tend to be less buggy but lack some of the newer
features.

Kernels from the 5.18.y series tend to have more features at the cost of more
bugs.

Kernels from the 5.15.y series are vanilla upstream, are unpatched for any 
specific board, and are unlikey to work fully.  YMMV.

ATOM/RSS feeds available for each directory via the atom.php file, just pass
the link for that file to your feed reader and you will get updates when new
files are uploaded to the directory you would like to monitor.

To update the boot files on the Rock-Pi-S (as root):
	
	tar -xf boot*.tar.xz
	dd if=boot/idbloader.img of=/dev/mmcblkY seek=64
	dd if=boot/u-boot.itb of=/dev/mmcblkY seek=16384

where mmcblkY is your root device.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Installation on a sdcard:

    Unpack the IMAGE file and record by running the following on the SD card,
    assumes you only have one image in the current directory
    ( /dev/mmcblkX = your sd card device ): 

   sha256sum -c slarm64-*.img.xz.sha256  

#checksums not matching indicates a bad download, try again

   unxz slarm64-*.img.xz

   dd if=slarm64-*.img of=/dev/mmcblkX bs=10MB
   
#needs root permissions, adjust SD card location as needed.

   sync

For those who are new to Slackware:

[while some of this does not apply to slarm64 or is outdated, much is still
relevant and a good starting point in any case]

GNU World Order is a great podcast with a lot of relevant Slackware-related
information. Highly recommended.
