List of All contents of Disc's 1-2-3 Slackkware 12.2 and their definitions?
Good morning folks!
I am trying to find a list of all packages that come on the first 3 CD's of Slackware 12.2. I want to know the definition of each, that is-a full "layman's" definition of each package and what it does/purpose, 'cause HD space is limited on my laptop and most packages I won't need. I only need a system that can handle writing aps and full dev aps-no sever stuff, image stuff, etc. Does anyone know where I can find this list?? Thanks1 |
look in packages.txt in the top-level directory
|
Yes-of course your right and I knew that-just don't want to accidently NOT install something and mess it up.
Like what about all the fonts, etc in "x" folder-what's really needed? |
I don't know. I personally like fonts for all occasions, so I always install every single one I can get.
You need an X server if you want to run X-windows. I don't remember all the other choices. The best way to learn how to do a small Slackware install is to install only what you think you need (you will be wrong the first couple of times) and go from there. I have never done a full install of Slackware or any other distro that I can remember, but I also don't use kde or gnome. |
It is amazing how little Slackware needs to boot, but even though you can remove loads of packages, Slackware tends to work better with a full install.
Here is a link to a really minimal bootable system Minimal Slackware samac |
Mmmmmmm...That's a very interesting setup for "X" that you got there Samac-that's why I was asking about all the "fonts", etc.
I am going to try that exact install now and see what I get. Now, is there a way through the terminal to see how much free space is on the HD? |
'df -h device-name'
|
Thank you-that's cool!
Here is the output- Code:
bz@bz-desktop:~$ df -h Code:
bz@bz-desktop:~$ df -h /dev/sda What options can I use to see the whole HD? Thanks |

device-name in this case means the partition. As you've seen, running df without arguments will show the info for all mounted partitions. The -h is for human-readable output.
