click on the torrent link tell it where you want to d/l (or point to the dir with the iso in) and it will start seeding it right away as you have the iso

in a way it is seeding when you are downloading too ... while downloading you are auto uploading to others too

Congratulations to the whole Slackware team.

I've just downloaded CD1 and CD2 and I'll start installation later in the day.

I've also bought the DVD on Slackware store to support Pat.

I've done one install of 12.1 and it went smooth as silk:-) I love the new black lilo prompt, very cool indeed! Finishing up my second install now. Wonderful:-)

Downloading now (first time I've used bittorrent - still a newbie where a lot of things are concerned). Will still send off money order for subscription.

Keep up the good work!
The only downside is that now we have to wait a few weeks (maybe months) to get -current rolling again

"Oh what a beautiful morning,
Oh what a beautiful day,
I've got a beautiful feeling,
Everything's going my way" from Oklahoma (IIRC).

I hope that Pat, Robby, Eric, Roberto and all other contributors are feeling justifiably proud. I have been tracking -current and this snapshot offers many great new features and is certainly far more than a 0.1 increment.

From the release announcement-
Quote:
You'll feel good, be helping the project, and have
a great decorative item perfect for any computer room shelf. :-)
I look forward to a shiny new 12.1 DVD to join the 12.0 DVD still in it's cellophane wrapper courtesy of subscription. (Slack is great, but I am not, so most likely will need it one day.)
Please don't be a bludger, but rather support this longest lasting, stable and delightful distribution.

Thank you Patrick Volkerding and Crew for your great work!
Wow, impressive -- already up. (I don't have time to install right now so I'll continue downloading/seeding via Bit Torrent, but I'm impressed that they managed to host the ISOs so soon)

Don't spoyle the fun for those that didn't get the chance to install it!

Can't wait until tomorrow when winblow$ blows away from my desktop for good, making more space for a new shiny slack 12.1

It's worth noting that those who upgrade instead of installing fresh should run `liloconfig` as root to get the snazzy new splash screen (or you can manually edit lilo.conf -- but you have to know what to add). I have -current running in a VM and I didn't even know about the splash screen because I just edited my lilo.conf and ran lilo manually (as if I were simply changing kernels), and just found out after hearing this. After running liloconfig it's all snazzy and such.

I'm sure it's in the ChangeLog somewhere and I just missed it -- but oh well.
