~Slackware Packages~

Installpkg

#installpkg [packagename].tgz

Removepkg

#removepkg packagename

Upgradepkg

#upgradepkg packagename

#upgradepkg oldpackage%newpackage

*do not leave any space between old/new package

Rpm2targz

Converts an RPM (RedHat Package Manager) to a Slackware-compatible package. In case you ever run across the need to obtain something that is only in RPM format, this program may come in handy. The syntax is:

#rpm2targz [filename].rpm

#rpm2tgz [filename].rpm

NOTE: Running rpm2targz will create a .tar.gz file, while running rpm2tgz will create a .tgz file. The files are exactly the same, the only difference is the extension format (some people prefer one over the other).
