| 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.

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. -- Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish. Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship by patent law on written works. |
