/etc/slackpkg/mirrors

Just change from <whatever> to Slackware64-current

This is his machine, not mine.  I'm permanently stuck at 14.2 unless I 
upgrade my hardware.  Not likely, but something might start leaking 
smoke.  Never can tell...

   Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really
   embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen
   an angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph.  They'd be a
   lot more careful about what they say if they had.   -- Linus Torvalds
