Re: Firefox 8 install on slack 13.37
When running removepkg it does not matter where you are in the filesystem. However you need to either be in the same directory as the new packages or specify the path. I make sure I am in the same directory, it makes life easier. I always save the other files as well. They are used to ensure their source. I am sure others will correct me if I am wrong.
I have a download directory where I save my downloads (source code, mostly from SlackBuilds dot org - not allowed to out urls in yet, not enough posts) plus one for the version of Slackware I am using which also has a sub-directory called patches where I download all the patches to. I use wget to download all the files from one of the Slackware mirrors (I use heanet.ie as it seems to be the quickest for me). I hope this helps.
Andy.

I've read that slack space is only copied in a bitstream copy/backup. Is the 'cp' utility a bitstream copy? (1 Reply)

FLUSH(1) General Commands Manual FLUSH(1)
NAME
Flush - GTK-based BitTorrent client
SYNOPSIS
flush [OPTIONS] [TORRENT_FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
Flush is a GTK-based BitTorrent client. You can use it to download files from the BitTorrent network.
You can control already running instance, for example, by following commands:
flush -o --download-rate-limit=100
flush --start=all
FEATURES
* Controlling running instance by command line interface, such as:
* Starting/stopping torrents.
* Changing download/upload rate limit.
* Changing maximum connections limit.
* Running many instances with different configs from the same user.
* Automatic copying finished downloads to specified directory.
* Setting custom download path for each file of the torrent.
* Ability to choose torrent file's character set encoding.
* Automatic torrents loading from specified directory.
* Automatic pausing and removing old torrents.
* Temporary pausing and resuming torrents.
* Overall and current session statistics.
* Creating your own torrent files.
* IP filter.
OPTIONS
--version
Show program version and exit.
--help Show help options and exit.
--config=DIRECTORY
Configuration directory path (default: ~/.flush).
--download-rate-limit=SPEED
Set download rate limit (KB/s).
--upload-rate-limit=SPEED
Set upload rate limit (KB/s).
--max-uploads=NUMBER
Set maximum uploads.
--max-connections=NUMBER
Set maximum connections.
--start={all,downloads,uploads}
Start torrents.
--stop={all,downloads,uploads}
Stop torrents.
-o, --only-pass
Only pass commands to already running Flush instance. Does not start new instance if it is not running yet.
FILES
~/.flush
Default configuration directory.
BUGS
On startup Flush finds already running instances via DBus session bus. Therefore it is necessary to run Flush in a single session bus
(usual in X session bus) to prevent running several instances with one configuration path.
Please notice that when you are running Flush from console or by cron, when DISPLAY environment variable is not available, Flush finds
already running GUI instance without problems via ${config_path}/dbus_session link, which all GUI instances are creating when they have
owned DBus name. This makes it possible to control running Flush GUI instances from cron.
