Since my knowledge of slackware is very limited, I'll refer you to the tutorial of "install / UnInstall" software under Linux, you can find it here. Scroll down to the SLACKWARE section and you will get all the information you need.

i installed apache 2 now ... but when i want to test it (http://localhost/) to view the index.html or what ever ... i get [ The Connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost] .....

what should i do

[Vergil83]

is apache actually running?

ps -A

you will need to make sure to start apache first, startup scipts are in

/etc/rc.d/init.d

i believe, and I think pkgtool also provides a graphical method for starting services in a similar fashion.
