Thanks for that :) . But drat! Slapt-get dosen't resolve dependencies! Here's the thought -- if I can somehow find out what armedslack installs, then I should somehow be able to install those. Don't really want to try to guess which packages to install complex stuff (e.g. gcc) as I'll more than likely get something wrong or miss something!
I'm guessing that like slackware armedslack uses tagfiles which are in turn used by the main setup program at install. That would be ideal as the dependencies would be largely resolved just going by the default armedslack tagfiles. Only snag is that the install/setup program in slackware can't be run after install as it isn't installed. There is pkgtool but it only allows for installing individual packages, one by one. Only other option seems to be to go through the tag files, look for the tagfiles marked "ADD" and "REC" and manually install them (which would take ages!). Just trying to work out how to do this -- one idea might be to extract the install setup from armedslack but I have no idea where it is. I tried looking in one of armedslacks' initrd files, but could only find; total 24K drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 0 Oct 4 12:02 . drwxrwxrwt 28 root root 20K Oct 4 12:04 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Oct 4 12:09 accessibility drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 4 12:02 block drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 0 Oct 4 12:02 bus drwxr-xr-x 62 root root 0 Oct 4 12:02 class drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 Oct 4 12:02 dev drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 0 Oct 4 12:02 devices drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 Oct 4 12:02 firmware drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 0 Oct 4 12:02 fs drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 0 Oct 4 12:02 kernel drwxr-xr-x 235 root root 0 Oct 4 12:02 module lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 4 12:11 o2cb -> fs/o2cb drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 4 12:03 power No sign of the setup/install script! ljones
