mini slack 1.1
Hey guys i have just installed mini slack 1.1 and am a hell noob at linux. What is the software manager in this distro and how do i run it. Can someone please help.
Cheers, Clarence |
If I remember correctly, Slack doesn't contain an official package management system. You should be able to install slapt-get or something similar, but I can't say how well the package management stuff for miniSlack / slackware is going to be.

slapt-get is good
but you might wan't to add some sources ;) or manually download slack packages from linuxpackages.net and then install them with installpkg package-name.tgz or use pkgtool if you would like "console gui" |
If you want to read a little bit about the Slackware package management: http://slackbook.org/html/package-management.html

Sources
How do i set the sources? Have you guys got msn or something so i could talk to yas about it?

well i use the sources from linuxpackages.net
try to download one package i.e: apache 2 then you get a list of mirror choose the nearest mirror availible to you, for me its inode.at copy the link to the sources delete everything behind the address i.e. i use inode.at http://slackware.inode.at/ken/blabla/packagename.tgz as the full download link and the i remove: ken/blabla/packagename.tgz and use only http://slackware.inode.at/ as the source edit the /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc there will be 2 sources in there allready you might wanna keep those or not i commented them out and then added: SOURCE=http://slackware.inode.at/ you will offcourse choose your closest and probably fastest mirror then it would be a smart move to isue slapt-get --update to update package lists and all other information from your source maybe issue a slapt-get --upgrade to upgrade all your packages to newer versions if availible then to install a certain package i.e. apache 2 you would issue slapt-get --list | grep apache and you would get something like this: root@x-shells:/etc/slapt-get# slapt-get --list | grep apache apache2-2.2.4-i486-1kjz [inst=yes]: Apache2 - The Apache HTTP Server, version 2 and then to install you issue slapt-get --install apache2-2.2.4-i486-1kjz note: there is no .tgz extension behind the package name with slapt-get i mean, you don't have to type it to get even more out of slapt-get and learn about it issue slapt-get to view all parameters you can pass to the aplication or witch i would recomend better read the manual page: man slapt-get |
