[SOLVED] connie.slackware.com down?

jdgr · 02-08-2012, 10:01 AM

Hi everyone,

I guess this is more of a question in case it's a DNS issue in my neck of the woods, but I'm trying to setup my Slackware 13.37 system to have multilib support, but I can't get to slackware.com/~alien/multilib from any of my computers to download the required multilib packages.

Is this just me, or is connie.slackware.com having issues at the moment, or is actually down for good?

Thanks.

PS: I'm following the instructions I was given from one of my other posts: http://alien.slackbook.org/dokuwiki/...kware:multilib

dunno about connie state, but you can find that stuff on Eric's mirror

Perfect! Thank you very much, those were the files I was looking for, but I couldn't find that mirror (which is funny that Eric would create the wiki and not link it to his own mirror...).

I would be curious to still know if anyone can access the mirror location in my first post.

Yes, I've tried two different addresses at connie.slackware.com and they are both down and have been for over 6 hours now.

Eric's probably busy in the kitchen.
