4 installing slackware
══════════════════════
installing slackware: stop secure boot in the bios, reformat the
hardrive using gdisk mkfs, efi boot using elilo (not grub2)
<https://superuser.com/questions/764799/how-to-create-an-efi-system-partition>
had to reboot between each disk drive change. when complete the
slackware installer did all the rest of the work, installing elilo and
the boot entry after the install i did my normal slackware post
install stuff, and everything works (maybe not the fingerprint reader
but i do't use that anyway )
5 scripting
═══════════
modified the scripts from the pinetab2 to activate laptop (landscape)
and tablet (portrait) mode. using xrandr to rotate the screen, xinput
the touch screen, the keyboard is disabled in tablet mode created
.desktop entries and added some graphics to get buttons that i pin to
the kde task manager to activate
6 setting up okular
═══════════════════
a great document reader, okular. to read documents in tablet mode i
use presentation mode in the settings menu under configure okular/
presentation mode you'll find enable touch navigation and then tapping
on the left/right side of the screen will move the page forward and
backward. great for reading especially pdf's
