slackware-current how to
i generally use slackpkg upgrade ** to update
now i wanna upgrade everything ? command i sould give in slackpkg |
try
upgradepkg --install-new *.tgz regards |
I've been lucky with swaret, but some haven't. I used it to upgrade from 10 to 10.1 with no problems.
|
just out of sheer curiosity
what is this "swaret"' i have heard about at couple of places regards |
It's a package manager for Slackware, with some dependency checking. Ceck it out at http://swaret.sourceforge.net. Some people have had problems, but I haven't since I used Slack 9.0.

no i am not sarcastic
because this person with 3200 post is new to slackware also because we do not have exposure to other LINUX os here,many of the students have not heard linux other than redhat or mandrake so i have taken the initiative here to change this !! regards |
Actually I thought you were being sarcastic as well. Anyway it's true that if you don't use a distro as your main one, you may never know all the features or apps available to you. I think globally most people associate Linux with Redhat, you even get people saying things like "I installed Linux 9" meaning that they installed Redhat 9.

I upgraded my Slackware 10 to 10.1-current using slackpkg, its very easy:
slackpkg upgrade slackware, to upgrade the /slackware main packages, and slackpkg upgrade extra to upgrade the extra packages |
