slapt-get help
« on: December 10, 2005, 10:22:12 pm »
iago helped me set up slapt-get the other day, and I needed to get Gnome from it so I typed:
"slapt-get --show Gnome"
and nothing came up.  I tried varying capital letters and stuff in Gnome too, and it didn't work.  I'm currently using XFCE because KDE owns my beast of a PC (400MHz, 384mb RAM, 2mb video card) and I want to see why people seem to like Gnome as much as they do..
How do I get Gnome?

Wow, yuck.  Get a new PC.

Anyway, I wasn't aware that you'd use slapt-get to update individual packages.  Personally, I'd just download the Gnome packages using wget and install them manually.  I just use SSH on my server though, so I don't have too much experience setting up/using X.

Well I don't know, but slapt-get is a program that doesn't do that.
It needs strings attached..
Try "slapt-get --info" if you have it installed (you need [lib]curls and slapt-get)

slapt-get is a program that doesn't come with slackware. For slapt-get to work, you need to put in the right paths. Pat does not provide Gnome so you'll need to look for third party packages.

The reason it doesn't run from bash doesn't have much to do with the fact it doesn't come with slackware.

http://dropline-gnome.sourceforge.net/
http://gsb.freerock.org/

Point to the correct location of mirrors of those. I tried freerock for some misc. packages. Worked like it should.

Wow, yuck.  Get a new PC.
400MHz 32MB ram is perfectly acceptable for Linux (not for KDE, but for WMaker and stuff). Its only windows that requires more.

Of course it's perfectly acceptable.  Actually, I have a machine in our MDF running XP that I use every day that has a 350 MHz processor with 64 MB RAM.  It's slow, but it would be slow on Linux too.

Secondly, I wouldn't want to have that as a workstation.  Mainly because you're not going to have much luck with X at all and I would require that I had some graphical interface to use since it drastically simplifies things.  I wouldn't want to use it as a server either, since it sucks so much.  So basically, the PC sucks and he should get a new one.

My point remains solid.

Hm, now that you mention it, I think X11 would take 20MB alone. 32MB of RAM might be a bottleneck, but the 400MHz wont be.

Its perfectly acceptable as a server. Unless the client computer is connected over 100Mbps ethernet, connection speed will be too bottleneckish for the processor to matter, and apache can just use the pagefile (so can X11, I guess) if needed (it really shouldn't be, but eh?).

If you want a really shitty server, sure.  I don't want a really shitty server.
