Install Diagnostic Tools

[jeffreywhunter]

I'm used to having a suite of diagnostic tools to test network speeds, disk speeds, in my windows environment.  I'm finding that unRAID/Slackware is missing these tools (i.e. iostat, netcat, etc).  I'm sure this is a simple point, but how do we install apps from someplace such as http://packages.debian.org/sid/netcat-openbsd or from a tar.gz file?  I've not been able to find yum, or apt-get or any other way, other than through unmenu, to install apps.  Is there documentation on how to do that in unRAID?

You would need to search for slackware l 64 bit packages preferably for slackware64 14.1 and install with installpkg. I googled netcat slackware 64 and came up with

https://slackonly.com/pub/packages/14.1-x86_64/network/netcat/

There you'll find netcat-0.7.1-x86_64-1_slack.txz
