Sat Mar 19 22:19:31 PST 1994 Slackware 1.2.0 is released. Sorry, I don't have a list of things which have changed since the last version. =============== Mon Feb 28 11:11:11 PST 1994 ./a2/bin.tgz: I got more than one report that this file was corrupt. I don't know if it was here, or a mirror site. If you had a previous copy and it did not give you errors when you installed it, then you don't need the new copy. --------------- Thu Feb 24 12:50:34 PST 1994 ./a2/getty.tgz : Fixed the LOGIN bug (I hope). ./d1/maketag: Bumped flex version number. ./d2/diskd2: Bumped flex version number. ./d2/flex.tgz: Upgraded to version 2.4.6 ---------------- Wed Feb 23 00:56:45 PST 1994 Replaced: ./a2/util.tgz: agetty was patched to (hopefully) cure the annoying backspace problem. ---------------- Fri Feb 18 23:36:23 PST 1994 ./a1/devs.tgz: I don't know if the net devices are needed for this new network stuff, but I'm taking no chances. ./d1/maketag: kernel version # changed ./d4/kernel.tgz: Upgraded to 0.99.15f ./d4/diskd4: Kernel version # changed ./n1/diskn1: tcpip entry edited ./n1/tcpip.tgz: net-032 utilities added ./bootdisk/color144.gz: Bug when selecting format with check on a non-root partition fixed. ----------------- Fri Feb 18 15:40:22 PST 1994 ./n2/smail.tgz: replaced. The old copy was linked with the shadow library and was causing problems on system using YP. ----------------- Wed Feb 16 19:29:08 PST 1994 I managed to put the wrong tty12.gz up... I hope you 5.25" users will be patient with me. I've replaced it with a copy I believe works. I'm doing some tests on it right now to double check. Wed Feb 16 14:09:36 PST 1994 I've replaced hdsetup.tgz, color144.gz, and root144.gz. This fixes a bug where the gateway address for NFS install is not configured. If you do not use NFS installation, these fixes won't affect you. Tue Feb 15 12:12:53 PST 1994 This is the promised big upgrade that fixes most of the reported problems with the new version of Slackware. Note that there is no longer a color12 disk - there wasn't enough room. I may eliminate some of the features and bring it back in the future. For instance, it would be easy to make a color12 without international keyboard support. (I know that wouldn't make everyone happy, but...) Another option is to make some more bootdisks that allow you to boot a 3.5" disk in the second floppy drive. Again, not everyone has a 1.44MB drive. But, rest assured that I'll do what I can. Anyway, these are the files that comprise the latest upgrade. If you downloaded soon after the initial 1.1.2 release, you should check the filesizes of your other disks as well and upgrade anything that needs it. (Including the disk?? maketag, and other seemingly insignificant files) NEW FEATURE: Support for the UMSDOS filesystem. That's right - if you have 8 megabytes or more of RAM, you can try Linux out on your DOS partition with *no repartitioning required*! You can install anything from a 12 megabyte minimal system to the full 140+ megabyte release. You can also make swapfiles on the UMSDOS partition once the system is running. I hope this will be a stable release. I've given it about 2 days testing, and it seems greatly improved, especially the new networking utilities. My thanks to everyone involved, especially Florian La Roche, Alan Cox, and (of course) Linus.

Removed the Mitsumi driver from scsiboot (scsi+net). Since this site can do gzip on-the-fly, I've removed the compressed versions of the bootdisks. This is also to benefit mirror sites that are running low on disk space. I'm considering compressing them all and adding GZIP.EXE to the bootdisk directory. If you think that's a bad plan, I'm open to suggestions. --------------- Thu Feb 10 17:29:04 PST 1994 Replaced: slackware/a1/etc.tgz Added a couple missing files, fixed problems with 'last' and 'finger'. ---------------- Wed Feb 9 23:20:45 PST 1994 Replaced: slackware/a1/sysvinit.tgz Changed rc.M so that it no longer deletes /etc/ld.so.cache now that the ld.so bug has been fixed. slackware/a2/ldso.tgz: Upgraded from 1.4 to 1.4.3. slackware/a2/diska2: Bumped ld.so version number in the text description. slackware/n1/netcfg.tgz: Fixed netconfig script to produce the changed version of rc.M. --------------- Wed Feb 9 11:42:49 PST 1994 Replaced: slackware/d1/maketag Wrong version numbers given. ---------------- Tue Feb 8 16:10:13 PST 1994 Replaced: slackware/a1/sysvinit.tgz slackware/libc444/a1/sysvinit.tgz slackware/n1/netcfg.tgz Execution of ldconfig moved to rc.M, after mounting of remote filesystems. Also, /etc/ld.so.cache is deleted after ldconfig is run. This is a temporary fix for an ld.so problem that should be repaired correctly soon. --------------- Tue Feb 8 01:50:03 PST 1994 Replaced (again): slackware/bootdisk/1_44meg/color144.gz and color144 slackware/bootdisk/1_2meg/color12.gz and color12 The NFS install had bugs. slackware/a1/hdsetup.tgz slackware/libc444/a1/hdsetup.tgz Same problem. slackware/a2/bin.tgz slackware/libc444/a2/bin.tgz Fixed problem of no color-ls after su. slackware/a2/util.tgz slackware/libc444/a2/bin.tgz Fixed problem of no su. I inadvertently left many of my own tagfiles in place as the default. tagfile and tagfile.org were replaced in these directories: slackware/ap1, slackware/n1, slackware/xap1, slackware/xd1, slackware/xv1 slackware/y1, slackware/libc444/d1 --------------- Mon Feb 7 23:13:06 PST 1994 Replaced: slackware/a1/hdsetup.tgz slackware/libc444/a1/hdsetup.tgz (added CD-ROM setup by default) slackware/ap1/maketag (updated quota version #) slackware/ap4/diskap4 (updated quota info) slackware/ap4/quota.tgz (new version 1.3 for pl15) slackware/xap1/workman.tgz (upgraded from version 1.1 to 1.2) --------------- Mon Feb 7 17:34:56 PST 1994 Replaced: slackware/bootdisk/1_44meg/color144.gz and color144 slackware/bootdisk/1_2meg/color12.gz and color12 There was a dialog box that was empty when installing to multiple Linux partitions. It meant to say 'here's what went to your /etc/fstab, do you want to add more Linux partition?' but it didn't quite work out that way. ;^) Also, the setup program did not detect the absence of Linux native partitions. This condition will now print an error screen. --------------- Sun Feb 6 18:53:26 PST 1994 There have been a couple of last minute fixes to Slackware 1.1.2: This upgrades bash to 1.13.5. It replaces slackware/a1/base.tgz. -rwxr-xr-x 1 volkerdi 252852 Feb 6 17:11 base.tgz (disk a1) These next two files replace the ones under slackware/bootdisk/1_44meg and slackware/bootdisk/1_2meg. They fix a bug which wrote /etc/rc.d/rc.local improperly so that keymaps would not load properly. -rw-r--r-- 1 volkerdi 465392 Feb 6 16:35 color12.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 volkerdi 539929 Feb 6 16:32 color144.gz This package addresses the same bug, and replaces slackware/a1/hdsetup.tgz and slackware/libc444/a1/hdsetup.tgz. -rwxr-xr-x 1 volkerdi 71152 Feb 6 16:36 hdsetup.tgz This replaces slackware/f1/maketag and rewords the message a little (as well as fixing a typo) : -rwxr-xr-x 1 volkerdi 291 Feb 6 17:45 maketag This adds a few new man pages. It replaces slackware/ap1/man.tgz -rwxr-xr-x 1 volkerdi 403715 Feb 6 17:08 man.tgz ---------------------
