I just thought I would post some info about going back to slack.

First I upgraded to the 2.4.21 kernel loaded my Nvidia drivers and downloaded the DroplineGnome package.

Once Swaret was installed updateing to the latest pkg's was easy as 

# swaret --update

swaret 1.2.2

As you can see, pretty easy to keep Slackware Current. If you notice to, there moveing from i386-i486 pkg's. The CD I used to install Slack was a Current CD I created about a month ago so a lot of packages were already current and compiled for i486. Also Dropline Gnome is compiled for i686 & quite a bit of packages from linuxpackages.net are i686 compiled. I must say, it's nice and fast(lean and mean).

I'm off, take it easy and I'll keep slacking (for the time being) :wink:
