upgrade to Slackware-15.0
mkdir /packages
mount /dev/cdrom /packages

1. Upgrade your glibc shared libraries. This is important, or things
might go haywire during the next part of the upgrade:
upgradepkg --install-new /root/slackware/a/aaa_glibc-solibs-*.txz
2. Upgrade your package utilities and related tools:
upgradepkg /root/slackware/a/pkgtools-*.txz
upgradepkg /root/slackware/a/tar-*.txz
upgradepkg /root/slackware/a/xz-*.txz
upgradepkg /root/slackware/a/findutils-*.txz
3. Upgrade everything else (and install new packages):
upgradepkg --install-new /root/slackware/*/*.t?z
4. Remove obsolete packages. The CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT file should have a
list of these. You may also wish to go into /var/lib/pkgtools/packages
and take a look at the package list:

5. IMPORTANT! *Before* attempting to reboot your system, you will need
to make sure that the bootloader has been updated for the new kernel!
First, be sure your initrd is up to date (if you use one). You can
build a new initrd automatically by running the geninitrd script:
6. Genereate initrd
edit /usr/share/mkinitrd/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh
USING_RAID="Y"
mkinitrd -c -k 5.15.19 -f ext4 -r /dev/md0 -m jbd2:mbcache:crc32c_intel:crc32c_generic:ext4 -R -u -o /boot/initrd.gz
genitrd
7. ln -s /lib64/libcrypto.so.1.1 /lib64/libcrypto.so.1
8. reboot
