I was just saying that Slackware's packaging > system isn't as bad as everyone seems to think (IMHO). I've never had a Okay, so I installed Zipslack 7.1 on my craptop. Then wanted to slim it down. I uninstalled the glibc devel package. Next reboot, ooops I can't log in. login among other things is complaining about not finding libcrypt. Seems it got nuked. Well, so I booted single user. Nope, still trying to use login. So, loadlin mumblemumble init=/bin/sh, there we go. Reinstalled the glibc runtime package manually. Ta da, works again... Anyway, later I notice sendmail is running even though I uninstalled it. Turns out it didn't delete /mumblebin/sendmail since its in the tgz as sendmail.new, and is mv'd over any existing version by the install script. Slackware doesn't seem to have any *un*install scripts... Slackware is not a distribution for the weak. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
