Slackware 13.37 On Gumstix Overo

Slackware ARM 13.37 Is now End Of Life but there may be some interest in installing it because the 2.6 series kernel is long term stable, and because the Caspa unit works with linux 2.6.34 from Sakoman.com

The focus of the Slackware on Gumstix Overo series of Howtos will be on Slackware 14.1 and later.
