Fri Apr 15 15:54:02 CDT 1994 Here's the latest round of updates to bring us up to Slackware release 1.2.0.2: A special tax-day present for those in the USA... ;^) ./a1/diska1: edited ./a1/etc.tgz: More verbose /etc/mtools. ./a1/idekern.log: New "make config" log ./a1/idekern.tgz: Upgraded to 1.0.8, added parallel support. ./a1/lilo.tgz: Fixes to the generated /etc/lilo.conf for OS/2 and DOS. ./a1/scsikern.log: New "make config" log ./a1/scsikern.tgz: Upgraded to 1.0.8. ./a1/sysvinit.tgz: Changed rc.S to not request a reboot after a successful fix. ./a1/tagfile: Edited many tagfiles... some to add new software, but mostly to remove version numbers, since these really aren't a reliable source of the current versions included. If you need to know that info, the disk?? are kept current. ./a1/tagfile.org: edited. ./a2/util.tgz: Added some e2fs 0.5a utilities. ./a3/diska3: edited ./a3/e2fsbn.tgz: Upgraded from 0.5 to 0.5a. ./ap1/maketag: edited ./ap1/tagfile: edited ./ap1/tagfile.org: edited ./ap1/tagfile.pat: edited ./ap4/diskap4: edited ./ap4/ftape.tgz: Recompiled to use Linux 1.0.8 ./ap4/vim.tgz: New! ./d1/maketag: edited ./d1/tagfile: edited ./d1/tagfile.org: edited ./d4/diskd4: edited ./d4/kernel.tgz: Linux 1.0.8 kernel source. ./d5/svgalib.tgz: Made convfont chmod'ed 755. (Security hole in older svgalibs) ./e1/tagfile: edited ./e1/tagfile.org: edited ./e1/tagfile.pat: edited On all of the rootdisks below, the following changes were made: 1. New e2fsprogs 0.5a, and badblocks added. 2. mkswap is now 'mkswap -c' by default. ./install/1_2meg/rootdisks/colrlite.gz ./install/1_2meg/rootdisks/tty12.gz ./install/1_44meg/rootdisks/color144.gz ./install/1_44meg/rootdisks/tty144.gz ./install/tape/tape144.gz ./install/umsdos/root144.gz ./n1/tagfile: edited ./n1/tagfile.org: edited ./n1/tcpip.tgz: Fixed ypbind, added newly patched dip-337-uri. Return of the Q series! This will contain Alpha kernel images and source. ./q1/diskq1: new ./q1/kernel.tgz: Linux 1.1.2 kernel source ./q1/maketag: new ./q1/tagfile: new ./q2/cdkern.log: "make config" log ./q2/cdkern.tgz: Linux 1.1.2 with net+IDE+SCSI+non-SCSI CD drivers. ./q2/diskq2: new ./q2/ftape.tgz: Ftape modules for Linux 1.1.2. ./q2/idekern.log: "make config" log ./q2/idekern.tgz: Linux 1.1.2 with net+IDE drivers ./q2/install.end: new ./q2/scsikern.log: "make config" log ./q2/scsikern.tgz: Linux 1.1.2 with net+IDE+SCSI drivers ./x1/tagfile: edited ./x1/tagfile.org: edited ./x1/tagfile.pat: edited ------------- Sun Apr 10 18:02:30 PDT 1994 ./downgrad: 3 disks comprising a "downgrade" package for people that want to run libc-4.4.4 and GNU gcc 2.4.5. I don't plan to use this, but I've seen interest in libc-4.4.4 on the net. ------------- Tue Apr 5 12:08:08 PDT 1994 ./x1/x_mach32.tgz: I heard on the net that some of the people that had problems with the Mach32 server had solved them by simply re-linking a new server. So, here's a newly re-linked copy. If this doesn't do it, let me know. ------------- Mon Apr 4 18:26:43 PDT 1994 ./install/in2000/in2K_144.gz: changed the root device from /dev/fd0h1200 to /dev/fd0H1440. Sorry about that! If you don't want to download the new copy, this line allows the old in2K_144 to load the rootdisk (type at the bootkernel prompt): ramdisk root=/dev/fd0H1440 ------------- Mon Apr 4 16:29:48 PDT 1994 ./install/tape: new tape144 and README. This might work now :^) Thanks to Harald Koenig, who sent fixes. ------------- Sun Apr 3 18:09:15 PDT 1994 ./ap4/ftape.tgz: Recompiled ftape-0.9.10 using a patch that was recently posted. This seems to have cleared up the random I/O errors on write with this version, and now /dev/nftape works, so you can put multiple tar volumes on one tape. ./install/in2000: Contains some experimental new bootkernel disks for systems using the IN2000 SCSI interface. --------------
