Wayne, True. At the clinic I'll install the file on the removed hard drive ... when I figure out how to run installpkg on one machine but have the file(s) installed on an external hard drive. Then I can run diagnostics on it. A couple of months ago I upgraded from Slackware-14.0 to -14.1 on that machine and there were no issues of mounting or using the optical drive.
