Yes, it SHOULD be possible to run pacman on top of slackware. But you should be aware that this path often is a pain in the ass. I've run out of curiosity a linuxfromscratch system with pacman, and a lot of arch packages worked, but the dependency management was uncomplete und you have to tweak some packages. On the other side I can't understand why somebody should use pacman with all the downsides on slackware when you can directly use arch (without any downsides)?!? Just my 2 cents. -- Kristian Gavran E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Heimseite: http://www.kriga.net _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
