I just got Slackintosh 10.2 successfully installed on

There are no scsi disks or macos installed on the
computer.  The system boots to an external scsi
optical MO drive which has some old funky version of
yaboot and a copy of my kernel.  Dont ask me how this
version of yaboot works on an old world mac, but it
does nicely.  I had to tweak the slackintosh setup
programs since there are no scsi drives attached to
the system.  All in all its running smooth.

Voodoo linux magic rocks ;-)

Is there a version of swaret for slackintosh? 
swaret is a shell script, just download it (swaret 1.6.2 is a -noarch package)

Is it  possible to tweak the swaret scripts to point to the
slackintosh repository?

yup! point it to:
http://workaround.ch/pub/slackintosh/10.2/
or
http://workaround.ch/pub/slackintosh/current/


Otherwise, whats the preferred method for upgrading packages? slapt-get? 
uhm... upgradepkg?
just joking: adrian has already ported slapt-get to slackintosh (eh,
this one isn't a -noarch) you can find the link here:
http://software.jaos.org/#slapt-get
which points to:
http://workaround.ch/pub/slackintosh/10.2/extra/slapt-get-0.9.11-powerpc-1.tgz

by the way, also slackpkg should work (it is in /extra)
