Post 23: New Slackware install missing applications

I have been using Slackware for the past 5 months or so and it has been a lot of fun so far. One problem I faced after my first Slackware install was that a lot of the applications that I expected to be present weren't. Most notable among them were the set of applications comprising the office suite.

This typically is the result of an incomplete install. So always perform a complete install of Slackware.

I would recommend, if you have a lot of files on your Slackware build like I did, that you take a backup of your filesystem and reinstall Slackware.
