jlc Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 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 [ ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-current/ ] ### Fetching Slackware Linux (i386/current) First List... OK! ### Fetching Slackware Linux (i386/current) Second List... OK! => Creating First Packages List... OK! => Creating Second Packages List... OK!

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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
