Note:
SpaceFM is not only a filemanager. Except many functions for file management purposes It has also builtin dialog function and can be used as standalone GUI for scripts (like Xdialog and GtkDialog).
See output of "spacefm -g help" for more information.

IIRC this option is needed for very old HDDs. Set your primary drive as "master" even
secondary (slave) is connected in same cable.

What do you think ?

Most flashlights should have internal DC/DC converter with automatic voltage
regulation so small difference of input voltage is not a problem.

However I downloaded the latest 4mlinux version 8.1 (it's a minimal linux system I use as a rescue system) and tried that. IIRC 4mlinux has different boot process.

This means no hardware problems in Your box. It seems something was happened in

Yes, it works like filemanager, You can browse directory tree and enter in
any subdirectory.

Thanks for correction.
If he wants to choose only one directory, an example shown by technosaurus (--dselect) is simpler and better for this purpose.

technosaurus wrote:Why not just use:

Code: Select all

Xdialog --dselect $PARENTDIR 0 0

I presumed HoerMirAuf wants to choose not only one but number of directories at same time, therefore I recommended a checklist instead of radiolist.

A package with Xkeyboard data files usually named as
xkeyboard-config-$version-noarch.tgz. (or *.txz in newer versions of Slackware).

You can erase whole drive using an internal function of ATA HDD.
