Thanks for the interest, Boris! I appreciate the response.<br>
<br>
As I mentioned, this is a "pet" slackware box. By that I mean it's
a learning adventure. I haven't started upgrading it since 2005, up
until a couple of weeks ago when I started upgrading from Slack 10
to 10.1 to 10.2 to 11.0. As a learning experience. To catch up
with Linux after nearly a decade being away. Sort of. So how
better to "catch up" than to upgrade through each revision and look
at how far Linux has come. <br>

doing this is to catch up my skills and know how, since I've
been away from Linux for several years now. So I could
just nuke and repave, but that would defeat my purpose. So
instead, I'm looking for details on testing installation
success from the install scripts and recovering from where I
am at. <br>
<br>
Do you know of a way to see any errors that the install
scripts gave up?<br>
