Steam for Salix 14.2 (x86_64, 64-bit)
I wrote a short guide for installing Steam on Salix 14.2, but appearantly my account is limited and the guide is only visable to me and my friends.

Well anyway, I will post these shorter instructions here for anyone who might want to know.

First you need to have latest version of Salix installed, get it from:

{LINK REMOVIDO}

Then you need to install multilibs. This is easy to accomplish by using this shell script:

{LINK REMOVIDO}

Save it to a file named install.sh, change permissions with "sudo chmod +x install.sh", then run it with "sudo sh ./install.sh salix local".

Next, install or reinstall your graphics drivers. During install select yes if you are asked if you want to install 32-bit libraries.

Finally install Steam by downloading the Slackware package from here:

{LINK REMOVIDO}

Then write this to install it:

sudo upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new *.t?z

Run Steam from the start menu, it should be located there in the Games section. Steam will update itself the first time you run it.

They are Bash wildcards. It'll install any file ending in any extension with first character t and last character z.

For a single character.

Edit for clarity: Slackpkg can install packages using several types of compression, but all extensions they use are 3 characters long, start with t and end in z. So ? Means the middle character can be anything and Slackpkg will try install it.

The question mark (?) means there is only one character there while if you have the asterisk (*) there can be one or more characters.

I just copied the command from when I had manually tried to install all the multilib packages earlier. You could use this too if you want:

sudo upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new steamclient-1.0.0.51-i386-2alien.tgz
