The easy way?

You may -- may! -- want to remove mod_ssl and PHP while you're at it
(mod_ssl is there for Apache, do not remove the SSL package, PHP wants
Apache to work, so you probably want to remove it too).

Log in is root and

cd /var/log/packages
removepkg apache* mod_ssl* php*

removepkg may tell you that it can't remove a directory because there
are changed files in it; e.g., /etc/apache in this case, but you can safely

cd /etc
rm -r apache

If you need to put them back, just insert and mount the CD-ROM and

cd /mnt/cdrom/slackware/n
installpkg apache*.tgz mod_ssl*.tgz php*.tgz

That'll do it.

Nah, he seems like a nice kid, just a little green.

Just to offer another piece of advice, there's a file called
MANIFEST.bz in the slackware directory of your CD. Uncompress it and
read it with less to view all the files included by all the packages.

no need to uncompress it. in slack, less is set up to uncompress .bz2 and
..gz files on the fly.

Ah! Thank you. I thought it only supported gzip.

now that i remember, there are some cases in which it doesn't work. this
was discussed here before:

Just to clarify since I had troubles with this one myself.
The manifesto on slacware 10 is called MANIFESTO.bz2 and is read with
bzless
Some other files are aperently comprezed with gzip and read bith
zless
and other textfiles are read with ordinary
less

When I used less or zless on the manifesto I only got grabage.
