It would be worst if your > packages were installed from source and again, you did it thru "make > install". i know! read again. it's only an addition to ian's observation that a new sysad will DEFINITELY re-install your *maintainable* server. find my reply enclosed in parenthesis saying "AS PER YOUR DEFINITION OF IT" and the emoticons after that statement, then try to analyze it before you disagree. use your common sense...what's ever left of it ;) > > > ha! first you didn't understand the content, now it's the subject! i suggest you >read again and again and again this thread (specially the one relating to package >managers) until you understand it. it's not really about Slackware advocacy...there >is more into it... > > Hhmmm...
