All backed up.<br>
<br>
Back in the day I did customize, but since I've been upgrading to
catch up, I've kept it pretty vanilla. The whole /usr/local area
was so old there wasn't much worth keeping. Lots of that stuff has
since been rolled into mainstream slack anyway. Or at least into
the slackware/extra category if not into the main distro.<br>
<br>
But yeah, I had to hand edit my /etc scripts somewhat.<br>
<br>
My main reason for even 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>
