Installing from a USB
Posted: 2014-04-26 Filed under: desktop, system | Tags: boot, dd, lubuntu, netinstall, slackware, usb, usbboot Leave a commentI had never installed an operating system from a USB stick. However, I had to deal with a netbook (dual core Atom CPU and 1 GB of RAM) that had no CD-ROM. It was not for my own use, so I ended up installing Lubuntu, but I tried Slackware first just to see how it runs. Read the rest of this entry »

Custom protein topology schemes
Posted: 2014-04-14 Filed under: academic | Tags: DOG, DomainDraw, ELM, JSON, lang, MyDomains, NetNGlyc, NetPhos, PFAM, PROTTER, SMART 1 CommentI need to generate custom graphics of several proteins (in fact nearly 30). I have the domain organisation predicted at the SMART database, the N-glycosylation sites at NetNGlyc and the possible phosphorylation targets at NetPhos. I also have identified short functional motifs at ELM.
Now I need a program that can generate custom graphics that would combine all of these neatly. Read the rest of this entry »
Slackonly: packages built from SBo
Posted: 2014-04-12 Filed under: misc, slackbuilds, system | Tags: package, slackbuilds, slackonly, slackware 3 CommentsI read about a new project at SlackWorld, with a domain called Slackonly.

In addition, to resolve dependencies problems, the REQUIRES information from the *.info files will be provided in a separate file. Read the rest of this entry »
Recovering installed packages
Posted: 2014-04-05 Filed under: slackbuilds, system | Tags: package, recover, slackbuilds 2 CommentsI came across an interesting discussion at LQ, about extracting a package from its installation and recovering the installable package. Useful if you want to uninstall something, but are not sure if you may need it in the future. Read the rest of this entry »
