Summary

You should now be familiar with the idea of a software package and how these are used in Slackware. You should be familiar with the various package management utilities and how to use them. The most important parts of this chapter are how to install, remove, and upgrade packages. That's the most common use of the package utilities. However, you should also have some understanding of making and inspecting packages.
