Hi Didier,
Thanks for that. I am currently preparing for the switch. Flashed the
Slint ISO to a USB drive, and am now copying all the stuff I want to
keep to an external HD.
Warm regards,
Brandt Steenkamp

Hi Brandt,
Basically after Slint installation, plug-in the USB drive, wait a few
seconds,
then use this lsblk command to know how the external drive and its
partitions
will be named:
lsblk -lpo name,size,type,fstype,mountpoint
then, mount the partition where the stuff is stored as root, like for
instance:
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
after that copy your files stored in /mnt to another directory in
Slint. using
the cp command.
Cheers,
Didier

Hi Didier,
I am not going to dual boot my system. I am fed up with windows. If I
need a more conventional OS, I have my MacBook. I will probably
install Windows in a virtual machine anyway, simply because I need it
for my work.
I would appreciate the help with copying all my stuff from an
external drive to my Slint installation.

Hi Brandt,
Slint can't be installed in an NTFS partition but can read and write
the files
in it, no add-on needed. We can help you doing the needed settings
after
installation.
Maybe you would consider a dual boot installation?
If yes but you have only one drive, read how-to prepare the drive in:

Cheers,
Didier

Thanks for that. I am very strongly considering installing Slint,
but before I do, I need to pull my stuff off of my windows
installation. Will Slint by default deal with NTFS, or do I need to
install a utility to do so?
