Slackware packages

[kern]

Would you at least read some of the slackbook?

It'll help, I promise.

i've read a little, how else do you think i knew how to make packages or give rights :P

[Ossiriss]

it should have been i486 not i386...that was the error i found out

how can i find my slack version from terminal?

[kern]

that, i486 or i386 makes no difference to wether it should run or not, believe me.

and

cat /etc/slackware-version

will show you your slack version

[Ossiriss]

Thanks, just found out :P
Good old google

[Ossiriss]

If i upgrade my packages with slapt-get , thy go from i386 or i486 to i686...does a i686 work on a P4-2.02 Ghz?

[kern]

Considering the P4 is classed as 686 architecture still, yes

[Ossiriss]

What package manager do you reccomand?
I have slapt-get but it is downloading very slow the updates from that ftp from slackware, and i have a very good conection...

[kern]

I don't use slapt-get or swaret.

I believe the essence of slackware is to do it yourself.
