Do you somehow think that there is a group of people on duty to respond "immediately"? We are all volunteers who check at random times---sometimes only for a few minutes.

Please know that some people will not even open a post with a title like this.

Hi,

Sorry Boss, I'm a little late getting back too work. I'll try to be of aid whenever there's someone that actually provides a solid informational query for their thread/post. :hattip:

I do suggest that the OP looks at the next two links in hope of enlightenment;

on slackware you should have the bash binary in
check that it's present (you should get an output like the 2nd line)
and 2 symbolic links that point to it
if /bin/sh or /usr/bin/bash don't point to /bin/bash
you'll need to recreate the symbolic links

sorry for the immediately!i was trying 7-8 hours and i was completely freak out!!!!!!!!!!!!!:(:(:(ok.i will install slackware again now and i will tell you the results!!!!!!!please can someone to explane to me how to install packages here????on gentoo i simple emerge something!!!!here i read for mirrors etc.he reminds me solaris.i can not understant how works slackware package managment.:confused:

installpkg

removepkg

what packages are you trying to install?

The Slackware manual is pretty good at explaining the package management---including various 3rd party options. The big thing is no dependency-checking by default. That always has stopped me with really getting into Slackware--but I might yet have a epiphany one of these days.

If you think Gentoo is easy, then learning Slackware is going to be pretty quick.

in fact i am a gentoo user.gentoo is my primary os and installed in my desktop pc.i want slackware for my laptop.is very beautifull!!!!!(not the laptop : D).i want to install conky,gparted and a lot of other packages!!!!!But i am completely new to slackware!!!!!

Hi,

The subject of package use has been covered many times on the Slackware Forum so a search will get you all sorts of information.

You could look at the 'Slackware Builds, Packages & Scripts' section of 'Slackware-Links'. More than just Slackware® links!

i made another try and i find that he crash when i am doing bash & kernel update!!!!!why??when he crased i tried to fix the links but seems to be good!!!!:confused:

Bad Interpreter
 

This problem occurs when you use slackpkg to update your 64-bit Slackware 13.0 from a 32-bit Slackware 13.0 repository. Unfortunately it is all too easy to accidentally select the wrong mirror in the /etc/slackpkg/mirrors file (it happened to me :-( )

The simplest solution is to re-install the system. Then ensure you select a 64-bit repository in the /etc/slackpkg/mirrors file so that you don't overwrite your critical binaries with their 32-bit counterparts.
