Well, I have this one machine I've been installing different OS's on.
Today, I did a fresh install of Slackware 9.0. I opted to make windowmaker the default.
Then I launched the default Mozilla 1.3 and went to
www.swaret.org and got the latest swaret.
I ran installpkg swaret-1.6.2-noarch-1.tgz. Changed the /etc/swaret.conf.new to /etc/swaret.conf. I then edited that and changed it to VERSION=current and then commented out all of the EXCLUDE lines.
Then, of course, swaret --update and then swaret --upgrade.
I select to install/upgrade everything. Man, I'm glad I have DSL now!! Even if it is only a 512k connection.
Anyway, the thing ran for about 7 hours or more, about 675M of stuff. After it was all done, I rebooted, ran the nvidia installer again, and voila!!!
The kernel upgraded to 2.4.25 from 2.4.20. Mozilla is now 1.6. Slackware is now 9.1. Etc...
Of course, I may still run into some conflicts, but I was surprised that the whole swaret upgrade thing went off without a hitch.
