Installing 12.0 from 10.1
This is related to my previous post [1]. I downloaded 12.0 file-by-file (because I'm on dial-up; an ISO image is a wee bit too much) and now find that I can't get it to install. I've tried: 1.

Slack 12.1 - killer app
I only started using the Amarok music player in this release (though I think it first appeared in 11.0) -- and it is an incredible program. I use an xterm for most thing besides browsing, but this has weaned me off the ncurses mp3 player orpheus. Amarok is like having a record (remember those?) or cd coll... 24 Jun 2008 03:05
