Slax Chinese

 Slax is one of the best Linux system. It is small, fast. Also it is easy to modify. The unique module, add-on, is easy to install and uninstall.

Unfortunately, it does not support Chinese input, because Slax does not have “setting locale function”.  It requires glibc-i18n file to support different language.

I made a module at slax.org for inputting Chinese. Here is the module:
http://www.slax.org/modules.php?id=1458

How I made this module:

1. download glibc-i18n file from internet.
http://mirror.mhvlug.org/slackware/slackware-current/slackware/l/glibc-i...

2. convert it to mo (slax.org has detail description on how to convert file to mo).
3. add Chinese fonts.
4. download scim input tgz file from slaxkware website, and convert it to mo file.

How to add Chinese fonts to slax:

1. start slax from CD or anywhere
2. Open Kongqueror, type: "fonts:/" to open your fonts directory.
3. On the Desktop, open "System", then open "Storage Media" ... to brown your font folder.

in my case: my windowsXP fonts folder:
system:/media/hda1/windows/Fonts
or /mnt/hda1/windows/fonts

4. copy any Chinese ttf fonts and paste them to "fonts:/" directory.

Chinese Slax

If you want to change whole system (kde) to Chinese, you need add kde-i18n-zh.

Download kde-i18n-zh_CN-3.5.3-noarch-1.tgz from Slackware.com (use Google to find out) and convert it to mo.

For other information, please visit slax.org.

I used your instructions to ad chinese fonts

Hi, im a Mexican user of SLAX6, so i use it in Spanish, i live in china, and i use Chinese fonts, basically, to read from the internet, i used your instructions to add fonts, but i can not see the characters, just squares with numbers, when i repeat the instructions, the computer says, there is an other file in the same directory, but is 0 in size, and i can not see it, even when i refresh the view, so i overwrite, and nothing happens.
