Mass package install


Hello,

I did a 9.0 install a few days ago then used swaret to updated to the current release. When I updated I found I was missing a few programs I have had before that come with slack. I don't think it was from swaret, I think I just missed them during the initial install. So I downloaded all of slackware_current and now I'm just wondering if there is an easy way to go through and automatically install every single package there instead of picking through and installing the ones I want. I'm guessing swaret only upgrades packages you have installed?

Thanks for the help!
