The weekend is now over. I spent all weekend working with Chris (the
Slackware Alpha guy) and we made bootable CDs for the SPARC and Alpha
ports. Basically it was a help each other get through it so we both would
have a working CD in the end. The CDs were handed in today for
replication. They will be labeled as:
Slackware Linux
for SPARC
-current
developmental
snapshot
These will be handed out at the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo in New
York. That'll be January 31 to February <something>. Hank came by ALS,
which was cool. If anyone is in the NY area and wants to stop by, please
do. When we're at the shows, we operate on the 70cm amateur band:
446.000MHz, 131.8 tone, so you can find us that way.
If anyone wants a couple of these CDs for historical purposes (look back
on it in a year and say..."Man, I remember that. That was back when David
ignored all my emails about Slackware not booting on my ___!"), just send
me your physical mailing address. I'll see what I can do.
This weekend uncovered a lot of bugs and I patched as many as I could
find. Please keep sending in the reports, however minor or major they may
be. Installation bugs seem to be the most popular, but if you're ever
looking for something to do on a Sunday afternoon, trucking through the
various applications and finding problems would be a *BIG* help to me. :)
