What do I need to do?
I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

hi M.Eire this is the incipit of the upgrade script the gpg key are loaded but we have this:
Main system: updated
1) 003-lxde 3) 003-xfce 5) 002-gui 7) 001-core
2) 003-mate 4) 002-xtra 6) 05-devel 8) end
Please, select base module to update or exit (1-8): 7
Could not open /mnt/live/memory/copy2ram/001-core*, because No such file or directory
ln: failed to create symbolic link '001-core/var/lib/pacman/': No such file or directory
error: failed to initialize alpm library:
(root: 001-core, dbpath: 001-core/var/lib/pacman/)
could not find or read directory
001-core is up to date
rm: cannot remove '001-core': No such file or directory
ok just for the record.

Hi
beny, thanks for reporting. I think you are referring to
this post. Maybe this should be moved there.
I've modified the script to aim at
/mnt/live/memory/copy2ram instead of
$PORTDIR/base.
I was wrong in assuming that the Always Fresh boot parameters implied '
copy2ram'. Therefore, I am going to change the script.
This is intended to avoid disk usage and be on the safe side. I.e. once you have created the new base modules, you can safely move the older ones into a backup folder to test the new ones.

What does /tmp/errors.txt say?
Or is the quoted from /tmp/errors.txt ?
Code: Select all
Downloading: 21 DONE
Downloading: a DONE
Downloading: sk DONE
Downloading: fresh DONE
Downloading: rror. DONE
Downloading: . DONE
That
looks like a script error… Without knowing the script I cannot say anything further.
Cheers!

I don't have errors.txt any more I give up on that idea. I live over 2.5 years with Porteus mate and still use it today and it outdated but it works.
