Slackware package management with pkgtool is really rather easy.
You just download the packages, open a shell in the directory the
packages are in (so pkgtool finds them easily) and run the pkgtool
command - once it starts the steps to install will be obvious. Pkgtool
does not resolve dependencies - you have to do all that manually -
and pkgtool will install the packages without complaint whether deps
are satisfied or not. In that case the app will not work, but can be
fixed after the fact by finding and installing all the dependencies.
Gslapt (GUI like Synaptic) and slapt-get are somewhat like apt-get,
but if they resolve any dependencies, they don't do it very reliably.

Subject: [trinity-users] R: [trinity-users] TDE on Slacko Puppy Linux
Hi,
Thank you for the info! Building and compiling software is still not at my
reach...
The provided binary packages are quite old.
I think that I'll try to install TDE on Ubuntu-based Puppy Linux instead.
Packages are already built and I have a better understanding of deb package
installation than Slackware...
Thank you!

Is it possible to install TDE on puppy Linux
Slacko 5.7?
It is supposed to be Slackware version 14 compatible.
I have seen that there is a TDE build for Slackware with
instruction here, but it seems to be outdated.
Hi Alex,
I know TDE builds and runs on Slackware 14 because Darrell does that.
Here you should be able to find some updated info about building TDE on
Slackware, possibly some binary packages too.
