The real tool for keeping Slackware up to date is Swaret:

<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://swaret.sourceforge.net/index.php";>http://swaret.sourceforge.net/index.php</a>

It functions kind of like yum for RedHat. You tell it what version you're on, 
where to download and what to ignore, then:

swaret --upgrade

It gets all settings from swaret.conf, usually in /etc.
