the slackware installation on my pc is slackware-current (most packages over the last year has been upgraded from the slack 10.2 packages to the ones' on current) but a couple of websites have gone really sluggish since... but these sites run fine on windows and on another machine that has a slackware 10.2 installtion with a few packages upgraded (security issues).

Is there any way where the packages on the machine running slackware-current to be downgraded to slackware-10.2 in a convinient way without having to do them individually...

thanks in advance...

I did that a few weeks ago by using `slackpkg` and uncommenting a "stable" directory in the mirror file. It worked fine for me.

could you give me more information or specifically the command you used in slackpkg to upgrade all packages at once.

i had a look in the slackpkg directory's mirrors file there isnt an option for stable but just current, 10.2 and 10.1

thanks

The commands were the usual
And my /etc/slackpkg/mirrors contains a lot of 10.2 stable mirrors. They come first, before Slackware current. In my case, I used

thanks for the info...

the downgrade was successful (the system works fine), i used the following

slackpkg upgrade n/* (n - the network set)

but still these sites run really slow on this pc... any ideas where i should look to tweak/change/remove configurations relating to this issue?

thanks

Do your sites use mysql or similar database?

not sure but the site is www.ft.com and even hotmail runs slow on this computer... but rebooting the router does resolve the issue for a couple of days before they go sluggish again...
