This is Slackware Linux 1.2.0. This version contains libc 4.5.24, Linux kernel 1.0, and gcc 2.5.8. I'm still behind in my mail, but feel free to report any problems you find. I can't promise a response but I *do* appreciate the help people offer me in fixing problems. This is what you'll find in the subdirectories below: ./install Boot/install disks for 1.44M and 1.2M floppy drives. You will need at least one boot disk and one rootdisk to install this software. See the README file in ./install for more information. ./a1 - ./a3 The base system. Enough to get up and running and have elvis and comm programs available. Based around the 1.0 Linux kernel, and concepts from the new filesystem standard (FSSTND). These disks are known to fit on 1.2M disks, although the rest of Slackware won't. If you have only a 1.2M floppy, you can still install the base system, download other disks you want and install them from your hard drive. ./ap1 - ./ap4 Various applications and add ons, such as the manual pages, groff, ispell (GNU and international versions), term, joe, jove, ghostscript, sc, bc, ftape support, and the quota patches. ./d1 - ./d6 Program development. GCC/G++/Objective C 2.5.8, make (GNU and BSD), byacc and GNU bison, flex, the 4.5.24 C libraries, gdb, kernel source for Linux 1.0, SVGAlib, ncurses, clisp, f2c, p2c, m4, perl, rcs. ./e1 - ./e5 GNU Emacs 19.22. ./f1 A collection of FAQs and other documentation. ./i1 - ./i3 Info pages for GNU software, readable by 'info' or Emacs. ./n1 - ./n3 Networking. TCP/IP, UUCP, mailx, dip, deliver, elm, pine, smail, cnews, nn, tin, trn, inn. ./oop1 Object Oriented Programming. GNU Smalltalk 1.1.1, and the Smalltalk Interface to X. (STIX) ./q1 Although this series is gone now, it may resurface as a place to find kernel images with extra drivers, and possibly kernel source patches, so I've left the option for it on the install menu. ./tcl1 - ./tcl2 Tcl, Tk, TclX, blt, itcl. ./u1 - ./u2 Optional disks supporting the UMSDOS filesystem. These disks should only be installed when using UMSDOS for your root filesystem. For those who aren't familiar with it, UMSDOS is a filesystem which runs on top of an MS-DOS filesystem and allows long filenames, hard and symbolic links, and the other features needed to support Linux. Although not as fast as a native Linux filesystem, it's great for trying out Linux, and not bad on a system with a smaller hard drive that must also run DOS. ./y1 Games. The BSD games collection, and Tetris for terminals. --------- X windows disks: ./x1 - ./x8 The base XFree86 2.1 system, with libXpm, fvwm 1.21c, and xlock added. ./xap1 - ./xap2 X applications: X11 ghostscript, libgr13, seyon, workman, xfilemanager, xv 3.00, GNU chess and xboard, xfm 1.2, xgrabsc, ghostview, and various X games. ./xd1 - ./xd2 X11 server linkkit, PEX support, and X11 programming man pages. ./xv1 - ./xv2 Xview 3.2 release 5. XView libraries, and the Open Look virtual and non-virtual window managers. ./iv1 - ./iv4 InterViews libraries, include files, 'doc', 'idraw', and other applications and utilities from the InterViews 3.1 distribution. ./oi1 - ./oi3 ParcPlace's Object Builder 2.0 and Object Interface Library 4.0, generously made available for Linux developers according to the terms in the "copying" notice found in these directories. NOTE: These haven't worked since we stopped using libc.so.4.4.4, so they've been placed in the /pub/linux/old/oi directory. ./t1 - ./t5 TeX support. This is the LaTeX2e release ported by W. Woody Jin. Enjoy! --- Patrick Volkerding volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu
