Hi,

I just installed slackware and I've been trying to get used to it after other distros.

I have now few questions. I've downloaded the slackware-current with wget recursively. What command should I use to upgrade those packages to newer ones?

The above issued in the slackware current folder should do it?

Main question is the wget size limit. I tried to download Knoppix liveDVD using wget but now after several hours and 98% of completion it ends saying that wget size limit exceeded.

How can I download the rest of the file and get by über liveDVD without redownloading the whole thing.

What version of wget are you using?

If it's NOT the wget version that you're having a problem with, what
filesystem are you trying to save to? FAT?

As for the slackware-current: use the same command you used last time
from the same location you used then ;}



Cheers,
Tink

I use the wget which comes with the slackware-current.
I downloaded about 4Gb so the 2Gb limit shouldn't be an issue. I use ....FAT partition. Good point on the partition issue Again, thinkin too complicated and not checking the little issues.

So, I could just copy the file to my laptop's reiserfs partition and then continue to download it fully. I'm glad this issue is solved.
