2. Run the 'mate-build-base.sh' in the msb root directory which will build

and install all the base (required) packages, including necessary dependencies

in the /deps directory. There are a total of 24 packages and they do not

replace any stock Slackware packages. The SlackBuilds will use wget to

download the sources. Or, you can also manually download the sources from:
|
||||
http://pub.mate-desktop.org/releases/1.8 and the download locations for each
|

dependency and put each source into the corresponding directory within 'base'

and 'deps'.

Before you begin, I would strongly recommend making a backup of your
|
||||
system, or, if not the entire system, at least the /etc and your home directory.

You might find that you need to refer to a few things after the upgrade

|

OK, now that everything is safely backed up, let's proceed. :-)

To do this, you'll need the MATE 1.8 packages ready in your local system. Grab it
