This video shows the new Slackware 13 boot preview after the fresh install inside the Virtualbox.
If you don't like this video, try to install it on your PC and watch for real. And if you still hate it, I suggest you to use it until you like it :))

Please post you specs to clarify why this takes so long, and 2.5 minutes ^is^ long on modern hardware even virtualized. I'm not at all boasting cuz my system is old - Single core Athlon FX @2.8 GHz w/ 2G Ram and in 48 seconds, including both logins, I can go from boot menu to fully loaded and usable KDE desktop w/ Slack 13. So please, clarify.

@enorbet2 this is slackware 13 64bit version running on virtualbox on a black macbook,

anyway the new 13.1 version has been release :)

what specs do you have it running under in virtualbox? about 256mb ram? i'm curious as i want to do away with my current fidgety fedora installation (i only have myself to blame for messing with config files without backing up).

I cant remember that Slackware needs so many time to boot.

@keinegravitation

Yeah, I tuned my 13.37 install to boot in ~21 seconds on a cheap laptop from 2003...

@haerulrijal You do realize that there are different versions of the Macbook, right? They're usually indicated by the year of release. Saying you have a Macbook doesn't really tell anything about your specs.
