January 22, 20179 yr I need to install a text based browser on my unRAID system in order to quickly visit some static web pages on my network when I'm away (and not requiring a separate port forward to those web servers on my router). I tried to install it the old fashioned Slackware way: 1. Used wget to get the installer package. (Got the file.) 2. Used installpkg to install the package. (Install appeared to complete.) 3. Run the lynx command. When I tried to run the program I got an exec format error. Even though the package I downloaded was for Slackware 14.2 (which is what's under my unRAID 6.2.4, or so it says when I ssh into my server) it won't run. Is there any way to install slackpacks on unRAID? Or at the least, install Lynx? Thanks.
January 22, 20179 yr You need a 64bit package. The 32 bit will not work. Assuming that's more or less what the exec error meant.
January 22, 20179 yr Author Nevermind. I was installing the wrong architecture's package. Arg. Works great now that I installed the right one.
January 22, 20179 yr You're going to want to store the package within /boot/extra so that it'll get installed automatically with every boot.
