To install a package in Slackware we can use installpkg, and for upgrade we can use upgradepkg. While installing a package it will not check for dependencies.

#!sh_sh
installpkg <packagename>
upgradepkg <packagename>
removepkg <packagename>

Yes!... I decided to install Slackware Gnu/Linux in my Laptop. Currently I have Debian Lenny installed in it. I don't know i will have dual boot with Lenny or complete install. If I have only Slack then I feel I will learn more, since their will be no chance left to switch the OS if any problems occur. smile
