Dick, I think I see the update issue. Package management in Slackware is not like Debian/Ubuntu etc. It's a very manual process that requires much user input. slackpkg only automates a few of these tasks. After "update" did you "upgrade-all"? Otherwise nothing gets installed/ungraded see also 'man slackpkg' and 'slackpkg help' 'slackpkg update' only gets updates but does NOT install them 'slackpkg upgrade-all' performs the actual upgrade of those packages. 'slackpkg search zlib' should show both with upgrade recommendation Thunderbird is installed by default as part or Slackware. I've used it for years. However, instead of emailing, better to use 'scp' or 'rsync' to copy between computers. scp somefile dick@Thinnkpad-X200:/path/to/somefile see 'man scp'. Saves a step; no download from TB to directory. Note that some home [wifi]routers have issues with home network DNS via DHCP - the only support outside internet DNS. That is why I use DD-WRT or Openwrt. Thus, you will often need to refer by IP address not name as above. * is a flag to show file is executable. On my systems I get that output when in CLI before starting X (per settings in /etc/profile.) and in X depending how konsole and other terminals are configured. I did override the ls alias with a new on in some cases with a custom $HOME/.bashrc so that on that box 'ls -l' does not add *. -Ed
