From: Handover Phist on 23 Apr 2008 00:04 Mon Apr 21 16:47:32 CDT 2008 We have now reached the Slackware 12.1 RC2 milestone. :-) We're beyond updating packages or fixing minor cosmetic bugs at this point (actually, we had hoped to be past that with RC1, but there were still items in need of attention). What we have here now has proven to be stable for our testers, so unless some real showstoppers are found we'll be releasing this as Slackware 12.1-final soon. -- Ma Bell runs a baudy house. www.websterscafe.com

So, without further ado, announcing Slackware version 12.1! Since we've moved to supporting the 2.6 kernel series exclusively (and fine-tuned the system to get the most out of it), we feel that Slackware 12.1 has many improvements over our last release (Slackware 12.0) and is a must-have upgrade for any Slackware user.

Bring it on. ;) Hey, it's easy enough to make a rough and ready Slackware package for your own use. Download the Emacs source $wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/emacs-22.2.tar.gz Unpack it and change to that directory $./configure && make The defaultss work fine for me on Slackware 12 Make yourself a directory ~/slack or whatever Then $su -c 'make prefix=/home/notbob/slack/usr/local install' you will be asked for the root password cd /home/notbob/slack/ become root user #makepkg Emacs22.2-i686.tgz answer yes to the questions it asks and in a few minutes you will have a package for Emacs 22.2 :-) atb Glyn -- RTFM http://www.tldp.org/index.html GAFC http://slackbook.org/ The Official Source :-) STFW http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&group=alt.os.linux.slackware JFGI http://jfgi.us/

I installed the win32 ver on an XP box and all worked ok, except GNUS. I think I need to learn some basic lisp. Would you mind if I emailed you for help, occasionally? nb |
