"There are several steps required to install GSB and two distinct installation methods. These are well documented on the Download & Install Page of their web site and in the README.TXT file. There is a reference to a replaced packages file as well but the link on the web site is broken and the information is now contained in both of the other documents. Anyone who can install and configure Slackware should find the installation instructions pretty straightforward regardless of the method chosen.

"Slackware Apt, a package management system used by many Slackware derivative distributions, is a pre-requisite for installing GSB irrespective of the installation method used. Technically the only required part of the system is slapt-get, a command-line tool very similar to apt-get in Debian and Debian-based distributions. Once slapt-get is installed you will want to check and customize your /etc/slapt-get/slapt-get.rc file. If you used the version provided with GSB then the GSB repository will already be included but you may wish to change the base Slackware mirror to something other than the very busy ftp.slackware.org. You may also wish to use a GSB mirror which is closer to home."
