recommended tagfiles for slackware install
Posted: 04 Aug 2013, 15:34
TL;DR: do you have a good minimal('ish) tagfile for a slackware-current install, which would make a good "installed" companion for porteus.
Excuse the lengthy question, but here's some background, in case the question I'm asking is not really what I should be asking (a common newbie fault!)
I've been trying out porteus for a while on my netbook (after internal HD with sabayon/gentoo failed!), and am very impressed. Impressed enough that I want to install slackware-current onto that netbook to see if it (slackware) would make a good stable base for my distro-enhancements (custom build system, etc). I've been a solid gentoo user on all my boxes for over a decade, but its too much of a moving target for me to stabilise non-gentoo stuff across multiple machines.
Ideally, I'm looking for more of a 'base' system, on top of which I can leverage my own builds.
/background.
Ok, so thats the reason why I'm not necessarily looking at doing a full slackware install. Is there a set of published tagfiles anywhere which mirrors whats in porteus? I realise this would be much more than a base system, but I'd like to start with that, so I can more easily share pkgs I build on the slackware install with my porteus usb sticks.
I see the "PACKAGE LIST FOR V 2.0" under General Info, but on cursory examination, those pkg names don't seem to coincide with slackware sets & pkgs. Or am I wrong?
