Noel did not include any errors because there are none.
This is a reply to Jorgs post from 10 month ago, you likely missed it. 
and the Question in there was install, looks like it will install 
everything, not just what you want, I was asking him for clarification 
if that was so, because I have better things to do than spend 2 days 
selectively recovering my system back to what it is and is needed as for 
very specific reasons.

If I want bloat I'll go use windows, I'm very specific about what goes 
in this box

The old alphas no longer seem available on my mirror, and as Jorg said, 
its no longer released as cdrtools for years now, its is now in his all 
encompassing schilytools package, which has a whole lot more than 
cdrecord mkisofs etc.

If you used the package he wants us to use now, you would actually know 
this.

Jorg once complained strongly when debian used a fork, because teh fork 
was made easy to install and they refused to use alpha versions or some 
such rot, this is many years ago. Youd think he would make it easy for 
people if he still wants it used.

and if I am to show justification to slackware, I need authoritative 
answer to my install question, and I shouldnt have to "try it myself" to 
find out :)
