I'm currently using Slackware 9 and XFCE 3 was what shipped on the ISO download. It seems logical to upgrade all the software that would ship with the OS, but maybe I'm wrong. When i tried to install glibc-2.2.4-25 which is a needed package, I get an error that states "basesystem is needed by glibc-2.2.4-25" What???? HOw could I even be using Linux without the base system installed? Could it be that I'm not using a glibc package defined for slackware, and it is looking for a different type of system??? Thanks
