Yes. But why leave out the ap/ series?
You can also run "installpkg slackpkg", of course

Yes. Actually, slackpkg is just a wrapper for installpkg, upgradepkg, removepkg... You can download it from any slackware mirror and install it using installpkg. |

Also, you should type the full name of the package. For instance
Code:
installpkg slackpkg-2.82.0-noarch-12.tgz

installpkg doesn't download the packages for you. Either access it locally (for instance mounting the DVD) or download it from a Slackware mirror.
Again, installing all package series (but maybe kdei/) would save you this kind of hassle.

Nevermind... I tend to forget that I am among those few perv... people that always do netinstall. Insert your installation medium and issue something like
Code:
installpkg /media/cdrom/slackware/ap/slackpkg*.tgz
The exact path to the slackpkg package depends on your medium and your architecture.

Agree. Full install is always recommended.

Issue this command from the directory where lies the package, or give the full path to the package, as in the example given by fsLeg. |
