Default Slamd64 Coaster17 (alpha2) released

ftp://ftp.scarlet.be/pub/slamd64/slamd64-20050124-iso

Hi, two days ago I'd finished Coaster17, and decided it was suitable for a
second alpha release. The reason for the delay is my upload rate and
stability is terrible.

Known bugs:
- Installer will always ask for another disk (I think I know what's doing
this)
- Not all of KDEI is in maketag/tagfiles, so you will be prompted for a few
(7) kde-i18n and koffice-i18n packages seperately.

The reason for "Coaster17" is my optimistic naming convention - I have 16
coasters in my draw (alpha ISO 1 was Coaster15) due to me altering kernels
and initrds.

This is a two-disk release. The first ISO has already uploaded, the second
disk is in the process of uploading (hmm...) and contains:
- ./extra
- ./slackware/kdei
- ./slackware/nonus

I will release SlackBuilds and individual packages when I have a more
reliable outbound connection.

Regards,

Keep up the good work.

Really, i mean it. If i had the time i would
help with "testdriving", bugreporting and some
debugging, but i am too deeply involved in this
software-patent-fight in europe to do anything
useful. I did download your last upload.. but
havent even managed to find time to really try it.
But one day i will..

Just wanted to say that i appriciate your work,
and hope it still is around and kicking when i
find time to try it, maybee even use it.
