Sily newbie question?

[cc7046]

hi people, can some kind sole tell me how to update my software packages? it is probably right in front of me but cannot find software update, many thanks.

/System/Gslapt package manager

or for the CLI

slapt-get

Salix will ask you to update automatically anyway as needed, and that takes you to gslapt.

@mimosa, much appreciated, cheers.

You have two options:

1-Gslapt:
Menu>System>Gslapt
Enter your root password
Select Update, then Upgrade everything and then Apply, all from the top menu.

or

2-Slapt-get:
Open a terminal & then:

Code: Select all

su
slapt-get -u
slapt-get --upgrade

Are you using SalixLive? It has a link to some good introductory documentation which can also be found here:
