I would definitely recommend you buy the CDs from the slackware store and support the project, but if you're short on cash and have dial up you can get cheap CDs from the websites in this post:

EDIT: Probably none of the websites have the CDs yet, but it will only be a matter of time.

Highlights of the 10.0 release include GCC 3.3.4 (with GCC 3.4.0 as an alternate in /testing), the Linux 2.4.26 kernel (with Linux 2.6.7 as an alternate choice in /testing)
Does this you get the choice of using the 2.6.7 kernel when installing slackware 10?

Anyone know where the md5sums for the Slackware 10.0 ISOs are posted? I can't find them on the Slackware website.

rotvogel 06-24-2004 06:24 AM

Here they come:
2464f68acde7b4ad197e2a77a5ac5dc9 slackware-10.0-install-d1.iso
39517cd115ef8cd0a4d56d21cd6266de slackware-10.0-install-d2.iso
51896df07759e240b612aa526be099c4 slackware-10.0-source-d3.iso
53ad523e79fe422b43bbe3637030baed slackware-10.0-source-d4.iso

Thanks. One more question, I downloaded the first two ISOs from BitTorrent. I notice that it also downloaded the md5 files (slackware-10.0-install-d1.iso.md5) and the .asc files (slackware-10.0-install-d1.iso.asc) for each ISO.

How do I use the .asc file? I know it has something to do with GPG and checking the authenticity of the md5 and ISO files against the file creator's private GPG key, or something like that. But what is the syntax to do that?

Anybody knows a good slack 10 mirror other than those in slackware site? They're always full :(. I can only download the iso from our school since im on dial up. My school unfortunately blocks torrents.

I cant wait :)

AlteZza2k2 06-24-2004 09:17 AM

i was wondering about the install, since we have to option to select 2.4.26 or 2.6.7 and we can also select between gcc 3.3.4 or 3.4.0, should i choose the latest and greatest even though they are under "/testing"? also, if i do decide to go with those, i would i select those during the the install?

Wooooohoooooooooooooooooooo!!

Now I can change my avatar from slackware-current to slackware 10.0! YES!

MunCH 06-24-2004 09:49 AM

Guys instead of clogging up the ftp mirrors, why not use a bit torrent client, I have been using azureus, its pretty fast and better than waiting for a slow d/l to finish, Oh the agony! hehe

http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

all you need is java installed, by the way the info on slackware says " with Linux 2.6.7 as an alternate choice in /testing" does this mean I can install that during installation instead of the default kernel?

Cheers

Yes, I looked and they only accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
