That is such a relief, I have been poking and proding the internet looking for some type of gossip on when the new slackware will be released, and you are right, it shouldn't be long. ;)

I found a cool little rsync script that checks for updates, downloads all the changed packages, backs up the changed packages and makes an iso over at Ars kung-fu the other day. I call it updslack.sh.
