As for the kernel, you'll be better off just getting the most recent 2.6
kernel from kernel.org and compiling it yourself. However I checked the
documentation, and all the referenced directories and files exist. I don't
know where you were looking, but they're correct. 

>From ANNOUNCE.10_0: "As an alternate choice, Slackware 10.0 includes Linux
2.6.7 source, kernel modules, and binary packages, along with a new
mkinitrd tool and instructions on using it to install the new kernel (see
/boot/README.initrd)."

$ ls -al /boot/README.initrd 
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 37 2004-06-26 16:37 /boot/README.initrd ->
/usr/doc/mkinitrd-1.0.1/README.initrd

>From README.initrd: "We'll walk through the process of upgrading to the
2.6.7 Linux kernel using the packages found in Slackware's
testing/packages/linux-2.6.7/ directory."

<a  rel="nofollow" href="ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-10.0/testing/packages/linux-2.6.7/";>ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-10.0/testing/packages/linux-2.6.7/</a>

...so I don't know what documentation is allegedly wrong and/or what
directories don't exist, but everything is where it should be on my box
and my CDs.

&gt;     Well I d/l Slackware 10.0 a few days back to run a server. Slackware
&gt;     
&gt; is the first distribution I had success with and suck to for quite a 
&gt; while since 1995. Shortly thereafter I moved to RedHat and have 
&gt; primarily been using that or Mandrake ever since. I like the simplicity 
&gt; (i.e. less fluff, not less capable) of the distribution but I'm running 
&gt; into a couple of problems.
&gt; 
&gt;     First, uname -i &amp; -p are not working - they return 'unknown'. This 
&gt; is on an Athlon box so maybe it has something to do with the processor. 
&gt; This is pretty important for building gcc and a lot of other 
&gt; configure-based source distributions. Someone mentioned something about 
&gt; a new coreutils package on IRC but I've got the latest one according to 
&gt; the slackware site.
&gt; 
&gt;     Second, the ANNOUNCE.10_0 claims that Slackware comes with a 2.6 
&gt; kernel option but the directory it wants me to look into simply doesn't 
&gt; exist. Er... ok well now (as I type) I finally got a google link that 
&gt; points me to an article that points me to the right location. This is an
&gt; 
&gt; example where wrong docs are worse than no docs at all it seems... we'll
&gt; 
&gt; see how that goes!
&gt; 
&gt;     Does seem to be a distinct absense of support for Slackware than the
&gt;     
&gt; other major distros. Guess this comes from being non-commercial. Oh 
&gt; well... if this doesn't work out perhaps I'll give Gentoo another shot. 
&gt; I understand they've improved the install process finally. :)
&gt; 
&gt;     thanx,
&gt;
