(a.out C++ compiler) slakware/d1/objcaout.tgz: Removed. (a.out Objective-C compiler) slakware/d1/libaout.tgz: Removed. (a.out development libraries) slakware/d1/tools.tgz: Removed.

This has been done to accomodate software packages larger will fit on a 1.44 megabyte floppy disk. So, the Slackware A series can still be installed for floppy disks, but not the rest of it. Sorry to those still generating 100+ installation floppies (are there any? :^) but fragmenting the distribution for complete installation from floppy disks really isn't practical anymore. As part of this update, most of the tagfiles, index files (diskap1, diskd1, diske1, etc) and maketag/maketag.ez scripts were edited. slakware/a1/aoutlibs.tgz: /usr/i486-linuxaout/ directory changed to the more generic /usr/ix86-linuxaout/ structure used by the Linux GCC team. slakware/a2/bin.tgz: .so manpage link added for 'awk'. slakware/a3/elflibs.tgz: Upgraded to libc.so.5.4.44 and libstdc++.so.2.8.0. slakware/a5/ldso.tgz: Linker directories changed to /usr/ix86-linux/ and /usr/ix86-linuxaout/. slakware/d1/libc.tgz: Upgraded to libc-5.4.44. slakware/d1/perl.tgz: Upgraded to perl5.004_04, merged into a single package. slakware/k1/diskk1: edited. slakware/k1/maketag, maketag.ez: edited. slakware/k1/tagfile, tagfile.org: edited. slakware/k1/lx2033.tgz: Merged together all Linux 2.0.33 source into a single package. slakware/k1/linuxinc.tgz: Added redundant Linux 2.0.33 include files package. slakware/n1/nn_nntp.tgz: Name changed from nn-nntp.tgz, since dashes are not legal on ISO9660 filesystems, and Slackware package names (at least within the /slakware area) follow this standard. Package recompiled. slakware/n1/nn_spool.tgz: Name changed from nn-spool.tgz. Missing manual pages added. Package recompiled. slakware/n1/trn_nntp.tgz: Name changed from trn-nntp.tgz. Package recompiled. slakware/n1/trn.tgz: Package recompiled. ---------------------------- Sat Mar 21 17:41:03 CST 1998 slakware/a4/hdsetup.tgz: Various fixes and /tmp-attack patches to the Slackware package management tools. (setup, pkgtool, installpkg, removepkg, makepkg, explodepkg) ---------------------------- Fri Mar 20 18:04:13 CST 1998 slakware/n1/mailx.tgz: Incorporated Olaf Kirch's anti-/tmp-attack patches. slakware/tcl1/tagfile, tagfile.org: edited. slakware/tcl1/maketag, maketag.ez: edited. slakware/tcl1/disktcl1: edited. slakware/tcl1/hfsutils.tgz: hfsutils-3.1 (for using Macintosh HFS volumes) ---------------------------- Wed Mar 18 16:52:55 CST 1998 slakware/a8/shadow.tgz: If /var/log/sulog doesn't exist, make it with mode 640. This prevents lusers from trying to make it mode 666, and covering their tracks after attempting to guess your root password. (which, if it's any good, should be a pointless waste of time anyway) ---------------------------- Fri Mar 13 00:13:19 CST 1998 slakware/a1/diska1: edited. slakware/a1/aaa_base.tgz: Upgraded to mtools-3.9. ---------------------------- Sun Mar 8 17:04:26 CST 1998 slakware/a8/diska8: edited. slakware/a8/shadow.tgz: Upgraded to shadow-980130. ---------------------------- Sat Mar 7 18:37:45 CST 1998 slakware/n6/tcpip.tgz: Upgraded fetchmail to version 4.3.9. ---------------------------- Wed Mar 4 14:07:46 CST 1998 contrib/aps-4.91.tar.gz: Added precompiled Linux binaries of a2ps and rewindstdin, and patched SETUP to use them. This allows apsfilter to be set up on machines that don't have an installed C compiler. slakware/a1/aaa_base.tgz: Added additional information to the initial email (/var/spool/mail/root.new) about setting up a Linux printer using APSfilter. slakware/n3/diskn3: edited. slakware/n3/ppp.tgz: Added ppp-2.3.3 in addition to ppp-2.2.0f.

NOTE: A *lot* of people out there have been reporting problems with LPRng (the default print spooler in Slackware 3.2), that it doesn't like their printcap, or text prints out with stair-stepping, or that it just plain isn't working. While most of these problems are caused by incorrect network configuration or other configuration errors (LPRng works fine for me), it's clear that the old BSD lpr (used in earlier Slackware releases) wasn't as picky about things and was easier to get working, in general. So, now that the security holes in BSD lpr are supposed to be fixed, I'm providing it here as a replacement package. Considering the number of complaints regarding LPRng, BSD lpr may become the default print spooler again when the next Slackware release comes around. :^) ---------------------------- Tue Apr 29 17:19:17 CDT 1997 slakware/a1/devs.tgz: Fixed major numbers for: pcaudio pcmixer pcsp pcsp16 slakware/a3/getty.tgz: Fixed /usr/doc/getty_ps/Examples directory permissions. slakware/e8/emacsbin.tgz: Fixed /usr/doc/emacs-19.31 directory. slakware/n5/tcpip.tgz: YP clients upgraded to version 2.2-970318. slakware/x1/diskx1: edited. slakware/x1/xlock.tgz: Upgraded to version 4.02.

Seems a lot of people are encountering funny problems with scripts using bash-2.0, so I'm replacing it with the earlier stable version. If you want to use bash 2.0 anyway, there will be a bash-2.0.tgz package in the contrib/ directory. slakware/a1/diska1: edited. slakware/a1/maketag: edited. slakware/a1/maketag.ez: edited. slakware/n5/tcpip.tgz: /var/log/ftpd directory added. ---------------------------- Wed Mar 26 13:10:15 CST 1997 slakware/ap1/sudo.tgz: shadow support patches added. ---------------------------- Tue Mar 25 15:05:22 CST 1997 slakware/n5/tcpip.tgz: YP clients patched to version 2.2-970127. ---------------------------- Mon Mar 17 13:17:24 CST 1997 slakware/a9/util.tgz: swapon.8 man page fixed. ---------------------------- Sun Mar 16 11:24:52 CST 1997 slakware/a9/util.tgz: 'mount' upgraded from 2.6a to 2.6d.

Anyway, it appears that there's really not a good reason to have the PCMCIA init that early -- those devices really shouldn't be in the /etc/fstab, but added by options in the scripts found in /etc/pcmcia. ---------------------------- Thu Oct 17 17:32:55 CDT 1996 slakware/n6/apache.tgz: Moved init file to /etc/rc.d. slakware/a5/sysvinit.tgz: Added rc.httpd to rc.M. Added kerneld init to rc.S. Moved PCMCIA init earlier in rc.S, before drive checking. Changed default permissions on rc.cdrom, since most people (including myself :^) really don't like that startup script. bootdsks.12/: All 1.2 MB bootdisks replaced. I was finally able to reproduce the problems people have reported with these disks, and tracked it down to a bad BIOS in the machine used to generate the disks. The old versions seemed only to boot on a few select machines (like, unfortunately the ones used for testing) but these should work in more machines. If you still run into problems, check these things: 1> Is the floppy cable hooked up right? 2> Is DOS formatting the disks to the right capacity? Sometimes it'll try to do 1.44 MB. If that happens to you, you could try using the 1.44 MB boot images. 3> Is the floppy drive order switched in BIOS? This doesn't seem to work for LILO/Linux. slakware/f1/manyfaqs.tgz: Updated Linux FAQ. slakware/f2/howto.tgz: Updated HOWTOs. ---------------------------- Wed Oct 16 19:24:45 CDT 1996 slakware/d11/ncurses.tgz: eti.h header file missing from official ncurses binary distribution added. ---------------------------- Mon Oct 7 13:32:17 CDT 1996 slakware/n3/pine.tgz: Upgraded to version 3.95. slakware/n3/diskn3: edited. ---------------------------- Sat Oct 5 21:20:18 CDT 1996 slakware/xap4/xv.tgz: Patched to version 3.10a. slakware/xap4/diskxap4: edited. ---------------------------- Thu Oct 3 21:26:47 CDT 1996 slakware/ap5/texinfo.tgz: Upgraded to version 3.7, moved texinfo.tex into /usr/lib/teTeX/texmf/tex/texinfo for compatability with the newly added teTeX distribution. slakware/ap5/diskap5: edited. slakware/t{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}: REPLACED, with directories containing a new TeX system based on Thomas Esser's teTeX distribution (version 0.4), with xfig and transfig added. To upgrade an existing Slackware system to use the new version of TeX, follow these simple instructions: 1. Remove the old TeX distribution: cd /var/log/packages removepkg nt?-* 2. Remove the old /usr/lib/texmf directory tree: cd /usr/lib rm -r texmf 3. Clean out any old temporary fonts: cd /var/texfonts rm -r * 4. Install the new teTeX distribution. Either install all the packages with installpkg: installpkg t?/*.tgz Or, use setup to reinstall the new T series. 5. Log out, and then back in. This will add /usr/lib/teTeX/bin to your $PATH. Then, you can run texconfig to set your local preferences. ---------------------------- Thu Oct 3 14:39:08 CDT 1996 slakware/d11/ncurses.tgz: Added header files missing from the official Linux ncurses binary distribution: form.h, menu.h, panel.h. ---------------------------- Wed Oct 2 16:49:34 CDT 1996 slakware/a8/util.tgz: Mount updated to 2.5m.
