Cool, I've modified the BETA.TXT file that was there. Change it to
BETANOTES.TXT and added the bug list. I'm currently syncing this to our
ftp.slackware.com jump point. The rsync server will be out of the loop
and hte FTP server will be the main source for downloading updates.
I have added a /iso directory which contains the mini bootable ISO image,
though I did add the N series to it. Hopefully that will help more people
get it installed.
I'll drop a line on the list when it gets all synced out to
ftp.slackware.com. 1.3GB...wheee!!!
