NAME: autoslackpkg - automate slackpkg, manage multiple kernels & update bootloader

SYNOPSIS: autoslackpkg [-h] [-m manpage] [-s section] [-v]

DESCRIPTION: autoslackpkg automates the use of slackpkg, manages installation of multiple kernels & updates LILO & ELILO bootloaders. The script expects to be run as the root user.

autoslackpkg runs in 2 phases with Continue or Exit offered after Phase 1 & before Phase 2. Do not exit before Phase 2 if there were no changes to kernels, initrds, or bootloaders during Phase 1.

Phase 1 includes:

    1) slackpkg update
    2) slackpkg install-new
    3) slackpkg upgrade-all
    4) install kernels
    5) make initrds
    6) manage bootloader modifications due to installs
    7) exit or continue to Phase 2

Phase 2 includes:

    1) slackpkg clean-system
    2) remove kernel(s)
    3) remove initrd(s)
    4) manage bootloader modifications due to removals
    5) run updatedb
