This reads like one of Loki's replies, Peter. Probably especially so to
someone who is new to Slackware, and doesn't know that "alien" is not a
reference to extra-terrestials or foreign nationals. :)

In my defence I am trying to get rid of a stinking cold, I was very tired
that night.

I've googled these exact terms

"slackware multilib alien"

and the first search result points here:

http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/multilib/

any way, when I get to be as knowledgable as Loki I'll just have to make
sure my replies are even terser... ;-)
