* Anything may be part of the '*' but most commonly used is "${VERSION}-${ARCH}". The core modules in Slackware Live use the Slackware release as ${VERSION} and the Slackware architecture as ${ARCH}. For the modules in addons/ and optional/ subdirectories, ${VERSION} would commonly be the version of the program that is being made available in the module.
* The four digits of a modulename have a meaning. Some ranges are claimed by the core OS, so please do not use them. Their prefixes are based on the package source: <code>
0000 = contains the Slackware /boot directory
+ 0005 = Console OS modules when explicitly enabled for a regular ISO installed otherwise from Slackware tagfiles
0010-0019 = packages installed from a Slackware tagfile (a,ap,d, ... , y series)
0020-0029 = packages installed from a package list as found in the ./pkglists subdirectory of the liveslak sources (min, noxbase, x_base, xapbase, xfcebase etc)
0030-0039 = a 'local' package, i.e. a package found in subdirectory ./local or ./local64 (depending on architecture)
