RE: Is this a Caldera list?
RH 7.1 on a Compaq laptop. Will started building a Linux from Scratch here in the next few days on my third partition. Have been trying to teach myself Linux and thought this would be a good route to go. I have played with all distros but have not figured how to to install Debain. That will be my someday project. Got lots of the projects - too many!!!. roger -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 8:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Is this a Caldera list?

The package management tools are installpkg and removepkg, which are in the hdsetup package, at least with current Slackware versions. Likewise, Slackware 8.0 puts mutt in the mutt package. See the man pages for installpkg and removepkg, but to install, for example, mutt, you become root and then do something like: # /sbin/isntallpkg /path/to/mutt-package Other Slackware package management tools include pkgtool, upgradepkg, makepkg, explodepkg, and setup, which is the system setup and maintenance utility and gives you an option to perform package maintenance. Yes, if mutt is not available for Slackware 3.3, you will need to install pieces from the development series in order to compile mutt from source.
