Hi folks,
One more. We'll call this 13.37 RC 4.6692. Thanks to Nicola for suggesting
the first Feigenbaum constant could be useful since we used pi, and it's too
late for e. This is pretty much it, but last call for any showstoppers.
I do not mind working with '-current' as that will benefit all and '-current' can break but you should know what your doing or expect unwarranted things to happen.
Or if you're too curious for your own good, .

Hopefully no showstoppers.
Speaking of, I'm wondering if my router is getting a little old or if it was something with the last upgrade, but the past two days my wireless connection was "deauthorized" twice. Usually if there was a problem it'd only be with wpa_supplicant and I'd have to delete the /var/run file, but these two times I didn't (However, that was a long time ago before I knew what I was doing). So I have to wait til if it happens again and this time "SAVE" the logs...
Anyone tried writing a new Dvd using the latest 13.37 RC 4.6692?
I may be missing something , but I wrote a new disk last night before the
change and this morning I am unable to write using K3b or growisofs.
My disks are 4.4G and the new Slackware-dvd.iso is 4.5G.
I am using Rsync from ftp://slackware.cs.utah.edu/slackwar...are64-current/.
Never mind. This is a known condition on the tree. I just happened to catch one that worked
last night and the new one didn't.

So, use a Double-Layer DVD disk. It have a 8.5G room, then is enough for you.

If one more rc should be necessary, it must indicate that 13.37 will be so stable, that the natural name of that rc must be 6σ or 99.99966 (You may start google now )
Remember, not everything that runs Linux is a desktop...

For some reason, that statement reminded me of a poem from Lord of the Rings:
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

As long as you have enough room to host a local mirror in another partition and a small USB stick, no need to burn a DVD. See usb-and-pxe-installers/README_USB.TXT in the -current tree. After booting the USB stick, choose either an already mounted partition or another disk partition as your source media and you are done installing.

Thanks, I will take a look. Seems I have been lucky and never run into this on the Slackware tree before. Just got used to cutting and pasting the info from isolinux and never having a problem.
I think this is the first slackware version to have two digits after the decimal place. This may or may not have been mentioned in this 28 page thread.

Well, there was this:
