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)

NAME
podbeuter - a podcast download manage for text terminals
SYNOPSIS
podbeuter [-C configfile] [-q queuefile] [-a] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
podbeuter is a podcast manager for text terminals. It is a helper program to newsbeuter which queues podcast downloads into a file. These
queued downloads can then be download with newsbeuter.
OPTIONS
-h
Display help
-C configfile
Use an alternative configuration file
-q queuefile
Use an alternative queue file
-a
Start automatic download of all queued files on startup
PODCAST SUPPORT
A podcast is a media file distributed over the internet using syndication feeds such as RSS, for later playback on portable players or
computers. Newsbeuter contains support for downloading and saving podcasts. This support differs a bit from other podcast aggregators or
"podcatchers" in how it is done.
Podcast content is transported in RSS feeds via special tags called "enclosures". Newsbeuter recognizes these enclosures and stores the
relevant information for every podcast item it finds in an RSS feed. Since version 2.0, it also recognizes and handles the Yahoo Media RSS
extensions. What the user then can do is to add the podcast download URL to a download queue. Alternatively, newsbeuter can be configured
to automatically do that. This queue is stored in the file $HOME/.newsbeuter/queue.
The user can then use the download manager "podbeuter" to download these files to a directory on the local filesystem. Podbeuter comes with
the newsbeuter package, and features a look and feel very close to the one of newsbeuter. It also shares the same configuration file.
Podcasts that have been downloaded but haven't been played yet remain in the queue but are marked as downloaded. You can remove them by
purging them from the queue with the P key. After you've played a file and close podbeuter, it will be removed from the queue. The
downloaded file remains on the filesystem.
CONFIGURATION COMMANDS
download-path (parameters: <path>; default value: ~/)
Specifies the directory where podbeuter shall download the files to. Optionally, the placeholders "%n" (for the podcast feed's name)
and "%h" (for the podcast feed's hostname) can be used to place downloads in a directory structure. (example: download-path
"~/Downloads/%h/%n")
max-downloads (parameters: <number>; default value: 1)
Specifies the maximum number of parallel downloads when automatic download is enabled. (example: max-downloads 3)
player (parameters: <player command>; default value: "")
Specifies the player that shall be used for playback of downloaded files. (example: player "mp3blaster")
FILES
$HOME/.newsbeuter/config
$HOME/.newsbeuter/queue

podcast support.
