Ok guys here's the thing. Suddenly my slapt-get doesn't work. When i try to install a package it says that there is not enough space in /var/slapt-get. This isn't true because I have 3 Gb of free space on my drive. I've been using Slackware for quite some time but I just i'm newbie when it comes to slapt-get, because i just installed it two days ago to speed up some things in my work process. It worked like a charm for two days and now this. Solutions??
No it's not. Hey i'm not that ignorant I'm using Slackware for 5 years now and this isn't system problem. This is slapt-get problem for sure. I was just wondering if any1 has encountered this before or knows how to solve it....

Always best to get the obvious questions/answers out of the way first I have to say that I haven't really used slapt-get, so I can't tell you if there's a problem with it. I do know that others here have encountered random problems with it. I'd suggest posting this question on the mailing list for the app and see if the devs can offer any help.
It must be said that most of the problems i have had on Slack have been caused by package managers (or, more accurately, caused because I used them). Slackbuilds/src2pkg are excellent ways of generating Slack packs, I would also suggest using slackpkg for the simple task of keeping your system up to date with patches etc.
