Changing Distributions

The biggest problem for the installation is to make sure that you use the correct hard drive. You must change the site for the mirror, because the default site is no longer available. I used the NLUUG.

Configuring should be as less as possible a manual action. Of course, the first time you need to get a working environment, you do not think about it that way. However, it is good to do it if you get to your third installation (desktop, server and now a laptop)

So, the strategy is to do a minimal instalation by hand and try to do the rest with Ansible. For me. that means:

• set-up the network, which means different things for the laptop or the desktop/server
• install slackpkg ( sudo slapt-get -i slackpkg ) which is used by Ansible to install packages, and edti /etc/slackpkg/mirrors to get the corect mirrors for the packages.
• set-up password-less sudo (with visudo )
• distribute ssh-keys for password-less login

This is basically the same as for a raspberry pi.
