hello!
If I want to setup a harddisk with a /slackware directory for beeing
used as installation source (and getting a cheap way of downgrading if
an upgrade fails), what has to be copied into the directory?
I have the choice of downloading iso images, eg. slackware 8.0-extra
slackware-source. And then I can copy just the tgz files into
/slackware? Any special structure needed?
regards,
Robert

Yes, the same directory structure you find under .../slackware, eg.:
~$ ls /home/mirror/slackware-12.0/slackware/
CHECKSUMS.md5 FILE_LIST PACKAGES.TXT@ a/ d/ f/ kde/ n/ tcl/ xap/
CHECKSUMS.md5.asc MANIFEST.bz2 README.TXT ap/ e/ k/ l/ t/ x/ y/
(I don't mirror kdei here)
Grant.
