Volkerding)Well, that's good, because I put one together. It does not yet haveXFree-86 1.3, but give me about 2 days and it will. This is not likethe MCC release, rather, it is a big system, even more bloated thanSLS :^)Currently it has all of the same features as SLS 1.02, with theseadditions:1. The newest FAQ2. Simplified installation procedure.3. Kernel level .99 pl 11 Alpha.4. libs and includes at 4.4.1, (without the limits.h problem)5. GCC at 2.4.3 (may be 2.4.5 soon)6. Net-2 TCP/IP preconfigured for loopback.7. Public domain ksh and tcsh 6.04.8. command line JPEG utilities.On the X side, XV 3.00 has been added.Now here's the deal: there are 13 disks in the 'A' series (same as SLSA, B, and C) and 10 in the X series. I don't have any way to offer thissystem publicly. If I tried to put it up on our 3b2 it would kill it.This system has been used among my associates here since we put thefirst one together back at pl8. Our original goal was just to debug theSLS releases, but those have been slowing down and we happened to get ajump on things.I'd like to hear from you if this package sounds appealing. If demand isnot too strong, I may test releasing it on the 3b2 here. If you have an archive site for it, LET ME KNOW! I'll set you up with acopy of it to put up for FTP.Take care,-- Patrick Volkerdingvolkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edubf703@cleveland.freenet.edu

Volkerding)Hey now!First off, *thanks* for the responses. I got so many that if I answeredthem all personally, well, let's say it would put me anonther weekbehind :^)As timing would have it, the test release of SLS at 99pl11A wasannounced shortly after I made my initial offer. As a result, I'm goingto take the next couple of days to bring my package up to XFree86-1.3,gcc 2.4.5, and in general make sure that everything works properly. Iwant to do this right. Some new features like 'quota' have been added toSLS as well, and I want to properly 'absorb' these into the package.A few of you were kind enough to offer FTP space. I will get back to youshortly.The package will be known as the 'Slackware' linux release. (morefeatures *and* more slack!) Internal betas had been up as high asversion 1.3, but I'm going to reset it to 1.0 for the first publicrelease.I plan to keep the package as current as possible. If I don't get a jobsoon, I imagine this won't be too much trouble ;^)Stay tuned!-- Patrick Volkerdingvolkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edubf703@cleveland.freenet.edu
