time for me to fire up aliens mirror script again and get the changed packages - saves me having to d/l the whole dvd again

Wow, that was actually unexpected. Great news and big gongrats to Pat. Great timing, considering I'm going to have to install Slack on my computer in a couple of days and I would have not gone with release candidates.

Damn!
My DVD writer just broke down and I'm going on a holiday in a couple of days.
Slackware 12 will have to wait for two weeks...
