 If you plan on using slackpkg+ you will need to set the PKGS_PRIORITY=( **gnome** ) to gnome so that any packages in this repository do not get overwritten by Slackware's packages. Granted there is only 1 to 3 packages that would get overwritten. Those packages would be: gjs, gtk4,and pango ( if it is included within the repositories .

 If you choose to install packages manually, without slackpkg+, that’s always an option, but keep in mind many of these packages are included in Slackware already, but we are going to be updating them. To that end you’ll need to ensure when installing them, you use “upgradepkg –install-new *.txz” or “upgradepkg –reinstall –install-new *.txz” on your package directory.
-After choosing to either use slackpkg+ or to download all packages and use “upgradepkg –reinstall –install-new *.txz” there will be a need to edit the rc scripts. The avahi package needs it’s rc scripts started locally upon boot, but you’ll need to add them to your **/etc/rc.d/rc.local**:
-    #Start avahidaemon
-    if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidaemon ]; then
-    /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidaemon start
-    fi
-    #Start avahidnsconfd
-    if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidnsconfd ]; then
-    /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidnsconfd start
-    fi
-and also in **/etc/rc.d/rc.local.shutdown**: (if one doesn’t exist, you will need to create it)
-    #Stop avahidaemon
-    if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidaemon ]; then
-    /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidaemon stop
-    fi
-    #Stop avahidnsconfd
-    if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidnsconfd ]; then
-    /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidnsconfd stop
-    fi
-Ensure all four of those files are chmod +x as well so the daemon starts upon boot.
 In order for GNOME to run using X11 or Wayland, it must be loaded through gdm. You can boot to a console and run “telinit 4” as root to start gdm after booting or edit /etc/inittab and change the run level from 3 to 4, and upon your next boot, gdm will load automatically.

     slackpkg upgrade-all
-If you are updating GNOME LiveSlack from @jloc0
-To update an existing system properly, please run these commands as root:
-    slackpkg update gpg
-    slackpkg update
-    slackpkg install gcs
-    slackpkg upgrade-all
 This will ensure you pick up any newly added packages and update the GNOME DE as well. I will provide new packages as well for new users, existing ones should be good to go with the above commands.
