Slackware's native package manager is pkgtool, which contains installpkg, removepkg and upgradepkg. If you always install software this way, a record will be kept of everything you install (check out /var/log/packages) and removing and upgrading software is a snap. If you have found and downloaded a package already (and know it is a slackware package), install with "installpkg name-of-package".

Many slackware users prefer to use slackpkg to maintain their system because it finds packages and updates and downloads them, saving a few steps. It uses pkgtool, so your system will stay well-documented. This tool can be augmented with an add-on called slackpkg+, which allows you to use the same tool with a number of high-quality repositories, including alienBob's referenced above. If you have slackpkg+ installed, then you can install any package in the repos with

In addition, there is a site called slackbuilds.org which provides well-tested slackbuilds for many other software. It can be accessed through a tool called sbopkg, which helps facilitate the downloading of sources and building and installing. It also uses pkgtool, so again your system will remain documented. If you are building software with multiple dependencies (all dependencies are documented at the site) then you should look into the queue files functionality and download those.

Hope this helps move you a little farther along.

In my personal opinion, instead of installing the outdated flash player from 2012, you should instead install Pipelight. It takes a little bit of time, but in my opinion, it's worth doing just to have Silverlight and the latest version of flash player. You can find the instructions on none other than AlienBob's blog: http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/pipe...inux-browsers/

Best of luck!
