I don't wanna install some pkgs like e/*, n/ipw*, n/iwl*. And I don't
wanna
write a bash script to exclude the pkgs.

So, can I just remove the *.tgz that I don't wanna in the slackware
directory, and the run upgradepkg --install-new ?

BTW, I have downloaded the whole slackware-12.1/slackware to my disk.
And I
have never upgraded slackware.

You can just remove the package you don't want, but don't just run
'upgradepkg --install-new' if you don't want a broken system.

Read UPGRADE.TXT and CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT first.

Thanks.
Yes, I removed n/ipw*, n/iwl*, x/scim*. And I used the bash script
mentioned in the C&H.TXT -- 'upgradepkg --install-new *.tgz'.
Now I am under Slackware 12.1. Everything seems ok now.
