    Swaret help on install

    I can't get swaret to install, which was recomended to me by a online guide for simple slackare security. I have tried wget and that didn't work. Then I manualy downloaded the package and got a .tgz.tar which really pisse d me off because I couldn't figure how to get the .tar off so the .tgz could be used for pkginstall. PLEASE HELP!

    Since swaret is a slackware package use:
    Code:
    installpkg swaret.tgz
    to install it.

    So rename the downloaded file to swaret.tgz.
