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
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?
Distribution: Slackware & Slamd64. What else is there?

Rep:
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
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?

Please remember that with that X install you will be able to do next to nothing. It is meant as a basic install to be built upon, not a working desktop, more a sort of "proof of concept" than anything else. I use a full install then remove koffice and most of kde.
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.
