Yes. It's called slapt-get.

[revelater]

okay one question answered (thanks), now... more importantly, how do i run a .sh file?!?!?

[Dapper Dan]

Not actually seeing the file I'd ask myself the following questions if it wouldn't run:

1. Do I need to be root before running?
2. Are the permissions on the file too restrictive to run? In which case I'd go:

chmod 777 check.sh

3. Am I running correctly? I'd try:

sh check.sh

or:

./check.sh

4. If none of these worked, I'd wonder if check.sh wasn't corrupted in the download. At any rate, I'd pay close attention to any errors it my give...

[revelater]

3. Am I running correctly? I'd try:

sh check.sh

or:

./check.sh

you know... i tried that before and it didn't work... but it did this time... well, thanks, now i know.

however, while trying to install slapt-get i got this message

bash-3.00# sh doinst.sh
mv: cannot stat `etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc.new': No such file or directory
doinst.sh: line 2: cd: usr/lib: No such file or directory
doinst.sh: line 3: cd: usr/lib: No such file or directory
doinst.sh: line 4: cd: usr/lib: No such file or directory
doinst.sh: line 5: cd: usr/lib: No such file or directory

??
isn't it supposed to make the directories?
and can someone tell me how to make fstab recognize another cd source (i have a cd-rw drive and a dvd-rom drive)

sorry, but i am just very new to this stuff, so it will take a little while before i can figure this out on my own... thanks for the help guys!!! (and the ever elusive gals... if there are any)

Which version of Slack are you running? I gave you a link to slapt for 10.1 which may not work with 10.0 if that's what you're running. If you are running 10.0, you can go back and search slapt-get for your version. It should install without incident whichever you are using. It did for me with both.

[revelater]

they are the same... or seem to be
perhaps i should put the file in somplace other than '/root'?
(and yes, i am root)
i know i should have marked it on my cds but i don't know what version i am using, how would i find out?

edit:
lol just got sound working... kde makes funny noises.

Are you trying to install a RPM package in Slackware ? Better use rpm2tgz to convert the package to a Slackware package. After that you could install it using the Slackware pkgtools.

Your CD-rom and DVD can easily be fixed as long as you know which drive it is (hda, hdb, hdc, hdd, hda1, hda2, hdb1, hdb2 etc). If you dont know, just place a CD in the cdrom or DVD-rom and try the different ones.

do this:

mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mkdir /mnt/dvdrom

Then add these lines in /etc/fstab:

/dev/hdX  /mnt/cdrom  auto users,noauto,exec 0 0
/dev/hdZ  /mnt/dvdrom  auto users,noauto,exec 0 0

Replace "hdX" and "hdZ" with the appropriate drives, and then easily mount the cdrom with:

mount /dev/hdc

if your cdrom is on /dev/hdc... To find the appropriate locations of the cdrom and dvdrom, just try out the locations mentioned above...
