Fri Jul 16 14:31:59 CDT 1999 Three changes were made to zipslack.zip: 1. \--LINUX-.--- was removed, as it was preventing the virtual /DOS directory from working. 2. nobody's crontab was edited to cd into / before running updatedb. 3. /usr/sbin/pppd was pointing to the wrong version of pppd. It now points to pppd-2.3 instead of pppd-2.2. ---------------------------- Mon May 10 23:36:22 CDT 1999 New ZipSlack 3.9 release: ZipSlack rebuilt from Slackware 3.9 packages. Now uses the Linux 2.0.37pre10 kernel. fourmeg.zip rebuilt for ZipSlack 3.9. ---------------------------- Wed Oct 28 04:01:07 CST 1998 New ZipSlack 3.6 release: ZipSlack rebuilt from Slackware 3.6 packages. fourmeg.zip rebuilt for ZipSlack 3.6. ---------------------------- Mon Oct 26 01:45:51 CST 1998 Upgraded bootdisk.img to linux-2.0.35 for upcoming ZipSlack release. ---------------------------- Fri Aug 14 20:59:26 CDT 1998 Added fourmeg.zip package. This adds an 8 megabyte swap file to ZipSlack, allowing it to boot on machines with only 4 megabytes of RAM. Hopefully this will help make some of those old 386 laptops useful again. :^) ---------------------------- Fri Jun 5 21:00:59 PDT 1998 zipslack.zip rebuilt from the latest Slackware. Upgraded bootdisk.img to linux-2.0.34. ---------------------------- Wed May 27 02:25:45 CDT 1998 Rebuilt zipslack.zip from current Slackware snapshot, added 'dip' package, and added PCMCIA support. NOTE: This won't allow you to install to a drive connected through a PCMCIA card, only to use PCMCIA devices. Booting Linux on a PCMCIA device would require using an initial ramdisk (initrd) with PCMCIA support, and my tests here have shown that an initrd doesn't work with a UMSDOS Linux system installed in \LINUX. ---------------------------- Tue May 12 23:57:28 CDT 1998 Updated zipslack.zip archive to use new /vmlinuz, and set -R rdev flag to 0. ---------------------------- Fri May 8 22:24:37 CDT 1998 Recompiled kernel on zipslack.img using newer NCR 53c8xx SCSI driver. This is reported to work better with Diamond SCSI cards.
