Thanks KleB for pointing out his mistake :)

Exactly. Yes, I meant to say Yalla-One. So my thanks to you were there for a reason KleB (I was testing you :P).

I thought so... :D

Do you guys realize it is St. Patrick's day today?

Yummy little update to -current tonight :)

It's not so "out of date" any more!

Little :-) Is there anything at all that hasn't been updated ?

And there my planned Sunday outdoors went out the window...

I was wondering when this would happen. The changelogs been hiding for a while. I don't think upgrading is going to work. I'll have to burn a new current disc I think.

upgrading shouldn't be a problem as long as you read and follow the instructions in CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT and UPGRADE.TXT

I'm upgrading as we speak - should anything fail I'll let you know ...

Yipee!!! Upgrading is gonna be a lot of fun :-)

OK - upgrade complete, and the system works like a charm. It's dependant on following the upgrade recommendations though.

The only thing that took some extra tweaking was /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which needs a quick path and driver update. The quickest way is probably to do a Xorg -conf and use the new file as basis while incorporating the customizations done previously (ie for 100DPI fonts etc)

Happy 12.0-beta slacking...

Good!
Good to see some actual upgrade feedback, too.

Cheers, Eric

Well, that's been a pleasant read :)
Pretty much nirvana...
Now I'm just waiting for my nearest mirror to fully sync, as I don't want to attack Slackware server just when everyone else needs syncing. ;)

http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-current/
http://ftp.scarlet.be/pub/slackware/slackware-current/

are two complete and fast mirrors.

Eric

Maybe this is a good time to recommend your infamous mirror-slackware-current.sh script, which also contains a good list of up-to-date mirrors

Slackware-users in Scandinavia may want to add ftp.slackware.no which is also fast and current

Thanks, I now trying rsync://rsync.scarlet.be/slackware/slackware-current/, as I usually use rsync://rsync.slackware.at/slackware/slackware-current/, which is my nearest mirror, but not always the first to get synced.
