※Reference : Slackware manages packages in the following 16 categories (package series)
A | Basic Linux system (at least this package is required) |
AP | A group of applications that do not require X |
D | Program development (C, C++, Lisp, Perl and other programming languages, tools required for development, etc.) |
E | GNU Emacs (Emacs lovers will get angry if I just use the word editor. Call it an integrated environment?) |
F | FAQ, HOWTO documents |
K | Linux kernel source |
KDE | KDE Environment |
L | A set of system libraries (libraries required by KDE, GNOME, X, and others. GNOME needs to be installed separately by yourself.) |
N | Network-related (TCP/IP, UUCP, Mail, News-related software, etc.) |
T | typesetting software TeX |
TCL | GUI creation script language Tcl/Tk |
X | X Window System |
XFCE | Xfce Desktop Environment |
XAP | Applications running on X |
Y | game |
Slackware now recommends that all packages be installed.
Default is to go straight to Enter at terse and proceed
