For that you need the full glibc2 package (in /slackware/l/). You also need the following packages from /slackware/d/ binutils, gcc, kernel-headers and make. However, it is risky installing these piecemeal in a mixed installation. I would recommend doing a proper installation of Slackware 8.1 (rather than trying to do this on a BasicLinux foundation). > I'm still thinking about how to to get this to happen and > leave me a reasonably functional minimal system. Perhaps you would like to try my Slackware 8.1 installation routine. It gives you a 26mb foundation (using standard Slack81 packages). You can then add the GCC packages to this real Slack81 foundation. > BTW did I miss something? I noticed on the BasicLinux web > site that BasicLinux is now up to version 1.8? There have been no significant changes to baslinux.gz, just a bunch of minor changes. There is no reason for users of 1.7 to upgrade to 1.8. The new install-to-HD package (released a few weeks ago) had more significant improvements.
