How upgrade slackware 14.1 stable to current ??
Okay i tell some litle story, exactly i really don’t know upgrade my slackware 14.1 stable to current. i use slackware 64 bit, but i don’t like stable version but i wan’t old software there and i’m want new software like arch linux or gentoo.
actually i’m really really love using slackware :* , hmm all right we now let’s tell :D
if you using slackware 14.1 x86_64 and you want upgrade to current base slackware 14.1 it’s so could bro :)
okay first step you must change repository on slackware, you must edit on /etc/slackpkg/mirrors
let’s see it;
1
# nano /etc/slackpkg/mirrors
and you’ll see some repository on slackware, comment your repository that has been previously selected and select to repository current and then uncomment. e.g:
after selected your favorite repository :D
next step you update repository with slackpkg;
1
# slackpkg update
after update you’ll need install new system and system full upgrade;
1
# slackpkg install-new
and then upgrade all;
1
# slackpkg upgrade-all
if finish, you must clean system;
1
# slackpkg clean-system
after clean, you must reboot the system and look you have current versions. thanks :)
