[Libguestfs] Workaround to get supermin to work on Slackware
Hello, I'm experimenting with a Software using supermin. However, it look like supermin cannot work because of Slackware package manager. $ supermin --list-drivers arch/pacman?????????????? not-detected debian/dpkg???????????????? not-detected openmandriva/rpm??? not-detected mageia/rpm????????????????? not-detected opensuse/rpm????????????? not-detected ibm_powerkvm/rpm??? not-detected fedora/rpm??????????????????? not-detected Is there any workaround to make the following command works : $ supermin --prepare bash coreutils ethtool iproute iputils kmod net-tools pciutils perf procps-ng python strace strace systemd systemd-udev util-linux vim -o supermin.d Thanks.

Does it have a package manager which keeps track of packages, files installed by packages, and provide a way to list installed packages and files used by installed packages, etc?
