This is Slackware Linux 1.1.2.

This version contains the new libc 4.5.19, kernel 0.99.15, and gcc 2.5.8. 
It also sports the usual assortment of software upgrades and bug fixes.
There are two sets of A and D series provided with this: The new ones which
are found in ./a1 - ./a3 and ./d1 - ./d6, and a set based on libc 4.4.4 and
gcc 2.4.5, which are found in ./lib444/a1 - ./lib444/a3 and ./lib444/d1 -
./lib444/d6. I'm upgrading my own machine to libc 4.5.19, so this will be
the last support Slackware will offer for the older C libs. I don't know why
you'd what to use those anyway, but some people seem real scared of the 
upgrade. :^)

I'm sure there will be some bugs to work out of this before the big 1.0 release,
so send in those bug reports. My mailbox has been flooded pretty good lately,
so 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:

./bootdisk      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 ./bootdisk for more 
                information.

./a1 - ./a3     The base system. Enough to get up and running and have elvis
                and comm programs available. Based around the 0.99pl15 Linux
                kernel, and 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, 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 4.5.19 C libraries, gdb,
                kernel source for 0.99pl15, SVGAlib, ncurses, clisp, f2c, p2c,
                m4, perl, rcs.

./e1 - ./e5     GNU Emacs 19.22.

./f1            A collection of FAQs and other documentation.

./n1 - ./n3     Networking. TCP/IP, UUCP, mailx, dip, deliver, elm, pine, 
                smail, cnews, nn, tin, trn.

./oop1          Object Oriented Programming. GNU Smalltalk 1.1.1, and the
                Smalltalk Interface to X. (STIX)

./q1            Although this series is gone now, it will probably resurface
                containing alternate kernel images and source before too long.

./tcl1 - ./tcl2 Tcl, Tk, TclX, blt, itcl. 

./y1            Games. The BSD games collection, and Tetris for terminals.

--------- X windows disks:

./x1 - ./x5     The base XFree86 2.0 system, with libXpm, fvwm 1.20, and xlock
                added.

./xap1 - ./xap2 X applications: X11 ghostscript, libgr13, seyon, workman, 
                xfilemanager, xv 3.00, GNU chess and xboard, xfm 1.2, 
                ghostview, and various X games.

./xd1 - ./xd3   X11 program development. X11 libraries, server linkkit, PEX
                support.

./xv1 - ./xv2   Xview 3.2 release 5. XView libraries, and the Open Look 
                virtual and non-virtual window managers.

./iv1 - ./iv2   Interviews libraries, include files, and the doc and idraw
                apps. These run unreasonably slow on my machine, but they 
                might still be worth looking at.

./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.

./t1 - ./t3     TeX support. Since many people have asked about TeX, I borrowed
                the 3 TeX disks from SLS and went through them changing the
                filesystem structure somewhat and fixing permissions. You can
                take this as a sign that Slackware TeX support may continue to
                improve. :^)    These disks haven't changed all that much, but
                they're better than getting the stock SLS ones, and should be
                helpful for people accessing ftp sites or BBSs that do not 
                carry SLS.


Enjoy!
