Slackware -Current and using Multiple Mirrors
 

Yes, the n00b is asking questions again! ;)

i am upgrading to -current because i am drinking the koolaid and want to run my nix box that way.

What are the advantages of using multiple mirrors? Is this always a good thing to do?

Thanks for any advice!

Your question does not make sense.

Multiple mirrors? For what? Used how?

Huh? The slackpkg utility is designed to use one and only one mirror. You navigate to /etc/slackpkg/mirrors and un-comment one mirror, save then exit. If you don't like the -current mirror that you selected then choose another one. You can only use one mirror at a time with slackpkg.

Ok, that's what i needed to know. i was mistaken that Slackware could use multiple mirrors.

Thanks!

You're welcome. :)
