Incorrect boot media in slackware64-current


Some of the boot media in slackware64-current are out of date - they still provide the 4.14.78 kernel. In particular, contrary to what is said in ChangeLog.txt usbboot.img is out of date. Also, initrd.img is out of date in isolinux and EFI/BOOT, and huge.s is out of date in EFI/BOOT and different to the kernel in kernels/huge.s.

slackware-current seems to be OK.

This seems to have been fixed with the updates of 24 October.
