From: bf703@cleveland.Freenet.Edu (Patrick J. Volkerding) Subject: [UPDATE] bootutils-1.0 added to Slackware Date: 6 Sep 1993 07:04:16 GMT
There have been a few more updates to the Slackware 1.0.2 Linux
distribution. Hopefully, things will be stable for a while now.
If you're happy with what you have, you don't need to upgrade.
Here are the new features:
The bootutils-1.0 package is now a standard part of the Slackware
distribution. This package does automatic filesystem checking of all
unchecked filesystems when you boot, greatly increasing resistance to
file corruption.
Additionally, gzip and tar were updated to the most current versions.
These are 1.2.4 and 1.11.2, respectively.
The games series has been changed from 'G' to 'Y' to avoid a conflict
with an existing disk series for German users. Also, it now contains the
full set of BSD games. Thanks goes to Curtis Olson and Andy Tefft, who put
the collection together.
These changes are documented in /pub/linux/slackware/ChangeLog on
ftp.cdrom.com.
