The above statement worked fine, and Gslapt Package Manager is now in the GUI under System.

I got it installed but downloading doesn't seem to work. It always fails to download packages. I get no error messages when downloading lists just the packages.
Any ideas what I need to do to get it to work?
Thanks

I assume the next version of Zenwalk will just have slapt and no more Netpkg?

Apparently not! It seems Netpkg has a lot of fans out there so both will be included TFN. |

This is interesting:
Although gslapt tells me netpkg is not installed, it is because I can still run it on the command line. Not only that, but when I start netpkg this way it says (varies depending on mirror chosen)
Code:
Checking for network connectivity, please wait...
Checking for availability of the dependency file on http://download.zenwalk.org/ i486/current/packages
Checking for availability of the description file on http://download.zenwalk.org /i486/current/packages
then it opens its own window.

I tried zenwalk live cd and it was simple kool. I loved the distro. Thanks to all developers and supports as well. I never worked on xfce b4, but now realised how amazing it is. Any ways ill be installing zenwalk 3 soon. I think zenwalk live cd lacks multimedia applications by default. Anyways its kool distro.
Hats off to all of you there. keepup the good work.
