To update the Crawford Slackware box to the most current software, first open the Command Prompt and change directories to the NetSecVagrant folder. Then run "vagrant up" to start the virtual machine and "vagrant ssh" to log in. Once logged in, change to the /etc/slackpkg directory and edit the mirrors file to uncomment the http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/slackware/slackware-current/ link. Finally, run "sudo /usr/sbin/slackpkg update" to update all of the software packages.
