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 --------------------- Sat Feb 5 01:20:58 PST 1994 Slackware 1.1.2 is released, with a totally insufficient log of changes since 1.1.1 ;^) --------------------- Mon Jan 17 17:58:36 PST 1994 A1: devs.tgz edited. I removed the /dev/printer -> /tmp/.printer link which was confusing LILO. I don't even remember what it was supposed to fix, to be honest. --------------------- Sat Jan 1 19:03:16 PST 1994 On disk a2, in bootutls.tgz, 'mkfs' now works as expected. Sat Jan 1 10:49:07 PST 1994 Happy new year, everyone!

The previous version worked, but always produced trace output (tons of it). -------------- Thu Dec 16 18:00:09 PST 1993 A1: lilo.tgz replaced to fix some bugs in the 'liloconfig' script. N1: netcfg.tgz replaced to add more error checking on input. --------------- Thu Dec 16 01:29:18 PST 1993 XAP2: Obsolete 'linux.cf' template removed. (rm /usr/X11/lib/X11/config/linux.cf) --------------- Mon Dec 13 23:20:42 PST 1993 XAP1: seyon replaced to get rid of the -O2 bug. Hint: If you recompile seyon yourself some day, don't use optimization. At least not with libc.so.4.4.4. X2: xf_cfg replaced (made /dev/modem the default seyon device) XV2: xvmenus replaced (made /dev/modem the default seyon device) --------------- Mon Dec 13 18:00:31 PST 1993 XAP2: xgames and x3270 replaced. --------------- Sun Dec 12 23:42:56 CST 1993 Slackware Linux 1.1.1 released. --------------- [ This part of the file lists the changes since the first 1.1.1 beta release until the official 1.1.1 release. ] Sun Dec 12 23:40:18 CST 1993 Disk F1 brought up to date. Documentation rewritten to reflect changes. --------------- Sun Dec 12 03:15:08 PST 1993 This should do it for changes prior to the real release (now, how many times have I said that? ;^) The files below were added, and xrest.tgz (XAP2) was deleted. The files listed below are also present in new.tar, found in this directory, so if you get that, delete xrest.tgz, and untar it in your slackware directory you'll be up to date. Also, two new pieces of source were added, and these are not in the new.tar file: /pub/linux/slackware_source/drivers/ftape-0.9.8.tar.gz /pub/linux/slackware_source/a/syslogd/syslogdk1.0.tar.gz ./ a3/ a3/syslogd.tgz a3/diska3 a3/ksh.tgz n1/ n1/tcpip.tgz n1/netcfg.tgz a1/ a1/passwd.tgz a1/sysvinit.tgz xap1/ xap1/tagfile xap1/tagfile.org xap1/tagfile.pat xap2/ xap2/diskxap2 xap2/ghstview.tgz xap2/x3270.tgz xap2/xgames.tgz xap2/xspread.tgz xap2/xxgdb.tgz a2/ a2/bin.tgz oi1/ oi1/oilib.tgz -------------- Sat Dec 11 04:20:51 PST 1993 a1/ a1/sysvinit.tgz : fixed getty format in inittab a2/ a2/getty.tgz : recompiled getty/uugetty, added docs. n1/ n1/tcpip.tgz : fixed 'dip'. d3/ d3/extralib.tgz : libg.a -> libc.a link taken care of. q1/ q1/diskq1 : 0.99pl14c added, 0.99pl14a removed. q1/ide_14c.log q1/ide_14c.tgz q1/scsi_14c.log q1/scsi_14c.tgz q3/ q3/diskq3 q3/lx99p14c.tgz ---------- Fri Dec 10 02:09:03 PST 1993 These files have changed in what may be the last round of updates prior to the official release.

The route works for dip, but not ethernet. [solution]: Use the old route. I replaced /sbin/route with the one I was using before and renamed the new one /sbin/route.dip. [affected package]: /n1/tcpip.tgz 2. The install script in bin.tgz makes a bad link that wipes out /usr/bin/chsh. This has also been fixed. [affected package]: /a2/bin.tgz
