.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.B pkgtool
|
|
|
|
|
is a menu-driven package maintenance tool provided with the Slackware Linux
|
|
|
|
|
distribution. It allows the user to install, remove, or view
|
|
|
|
|
software packages through an interactive
|
|
|
|
|
system. Pkgtool can also be used to re-run the menu-driven scripts normally
|
|
|
|
|
executed at the end of a Slackware installation. This is useful for doing
|
|
|
|
|
basic reconfiguration (like changing the mouse type).
|
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
Most users will not want to use any options when running
|
|
|
|
|
.B pkgtool.
|
|
|
|
|
These are generally used only when
|
|
|
|
|
.B pkgtool
|
|
|
|
|
is run during the initial system installation.
|
|
|
|
|
Feel free to try them, but be careful.

|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B \--source_mounted
|
|
|
|
|
When this flag is present,
|
|
|
|
|
.B pkgtool
|
|
|
|
|
will not attempt to unmount and remount the source device with each disk.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B \--ignore_tagfiles
|
|
|
|
|
When this flag is present,
|
|
|
|
|
.B pkgtool
|
|
|
|
|
will install every package encountered no matter what the tagfiles say.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B \--tagfile tagfile
|
|
|
|
|
This flag is used to specify from the command line which tagfile should be
|
|
|
|
|
used for the installation.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B \--source_dir directory
|
|
|
|
|
Used when installing multiple packages from disk sets. This is the directory
|
|
|
|
|
in which the subdirectories for each disk are found. This isn't used when
|
|
|
|
|
installing from floppy.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B \--target_dir directory
|
|
|
|
|
The directory where the target root directory is located. This is '/' when
|
|
|
|
|
installing on the hard drive, or typically '/mnt' when installing from an
|
|
|
|
|
install disk.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B \--source_device device
|
|
|
|
|
The source device to install from. This is not used if you've provided the
|
|
|
|
|
.B \--source_mounted
|
|
|
|
|
flag. It's usually used when installing from floppy, as in:
|
|
|
|
|
\--source_device /dev/fd0u1440
|
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
|
\--source_device /dev/fd1h1200.
