Chinese Slax 6 中文

Update: June 11, 2008:

Some peopoe report that this module does not work with Slax 6.07. I will update this module later when Slax 7 is out. For now, you can download the whole CD image file "Linux for Buddhist Studies" at http://www.thanhsiang.org/faqing/node/86

I use this CD everyday. It supports Chinese with many dictionaries.

If you want to use it with Slax 6.07, copy the Chinese modules to your sla 6.07 modules folder.

================
This is the Chinese Module for Slax 6 (not for Slax 5).

This module will turn your Slax 6 into Chinese OS. It supports CJK display, Chinese menu, Chinese input (fcitx is used and it supports both simplified and Tranditional Chinese).

先去 slax.org 下载 slax 6, 然后在这里下载中文 module。

How to run your Slax 6 live-CD with Chinese module:

1. Insert your CD, auto start
2. Enable the chinese module: Chinese.fcitx6.lzm
3. restart your KDE desktop

Release Info:
Third release July 5: I replaced scim-pinyin with Fcitx.
Socend release July 4: works with all modes, but scim can not input in certain programs.
First release July 3: only works with Text Mode.

I don't need Chinese desktop, I just want to input Chinese with scim in Englihs environment, how?

Download the attached Zh_englishkde.lzm module. Note: don't rename it, it must run after Chinese.fcitx6.lzm.

How to run Chinese Slax 6 with WindowsXP

1. Create a folder named slax in your driver C:
2. Copy the CD contents to the folder,
3. Download the Chinese.lzm to modules folder: C:/slax/slax/modules/
4. Create a file: menu.lst on C driver (C:/menu.lst); copy and paste the following
----- start --------------------
timeout 0
default 0
title Slax
#root (hda0,1)
kernel /slax/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 rw max_loop=255 init=linuxrc load_ramdisk=1 ramdisk_size=6666 slax from=/dev/hda1/slax/ vga=normal autoexec=startx
initrd /slax/boot/initrd.gz
boot
------ end ----------------
NOTE: "hda" is for my hard disk, sometimes it may be "sda".
5. download grldr to C:/
6. add
c:\grldr="GRUB"
to c:\boot.ini

How did I make this?

1. Install fonts
$ mkdir ~/.fonts
Copy the font, from the command line, run the following:
$ cp [fontfile] ~/.fonts
From the command line, run the following:
$ fc-cache -f -v ~/.fonts
$ xset fp rehash

2. download the following slackware packages and convert them to lzm
kde-i18n-zh_CN-3.5.7-noarch-1.tgz
glibc-i18n-2.5-noarch-3.tgz
fcitx 3.1.1

3. Configuration the KDE

Can't Display Chinese in kpdf

Hello, faqing
I've follow your instruction and the system font changed to Chinese after activated Chinese.fcitx6.lzm.
But when I open .pdf document, which include Chinese fonts, It just show messy code in content aera.(Chinese words could shown in bookmark area).
And it can display Chinese font in kwrite if encoding is manually set to GB2312 or GBK.
So, I think may be kpdf's default encoding is not set to GB2312, and could your help to how to change it.
With many thanks!

I can't display Chinese after I put the module in the file

What i have done is........
format a usb drive and download slax 6.0.7 in then install into it.

Then, i can sucessfully run the slax.

Therefore, I put the usb drive to my other computer using winXP.
Then download the file Chinese.fcitx6.lzm and put it in to
/slax/modules in the usb drive.

However, when i start using it to reboot again........I still can't see the chinese words. However, in the modules manager, it is already shown there a module Chinese.fcitx6.lzm

What did i miss in order to see the chinese words?? thanks a lot

me too

You can not use install

You can not use install fonts, or just copy fonts in Slax 6. Follow this:

From the command line, run the following:

$ fc-cache -f -v ~/.fonts
$ xset fp rehash
