I was able to do it by downloading the distribution directories and following the directions in the 'UPGRADE.TXT' file which I found there. However, either way, you probably should use a mirror site for Slackware--the file transfers will be far faster. My favorite site is at carroll.cac.psu.edu . They have anonymous ftp and rsync at that site, and allow downloads for a variety of Linux distributions--among other things. HTH, and have a _great_ day.
