I have this homework, which asks me to install knockd and other packets on a super old version of Slackware (Kernel v. 2.6.15.4). The task description specifically mentions that we are not allowed to use install software which performs dependency checks like apt-get, although conveniently omits any mention of documentation on how a manual install of a package is properly performed. As I'm still pretty much a noob Linux user, I would be very thankful for a process description of how to do this the proper way.
Many thanks in advance!
