Slackware 14.2slackware-14.2

Thu Jun 30 20:26:57 UTC 2016
Slackware 14.2 x86_64 stable is released!

The long development cycle (the Linux community has lately been living in
"interesting times", as they say) is finally behind us, and we're proud to
announce the release of Slackware 14.2.  The new release brings many updates
and modern tools, has switched from udev to eudev (no systemd), and adds
well over a hundred new packages to the system.  Thanks to the team, the
upstream developers, the dedicated Slackware community, and everyone else
who pitched in to help make this release a reality.

The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided
32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.  Please consider supporting the Slackware
project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com.  We're taking
pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription.

Have fun!  :-)

+# This is a simple script to install a package series from the command line.
+# If you're already running Slackware, you can just run this script to install
+# the packages.
+#
+# I originally got the idea for this tool because Slackware with both KDE and
+# GNOME doesn't fit on a single CD-ROM anymore, so I wanted to provide a quick
+# way to add a series later on with the same ease as the initial installation.
+#
+# To use this script, just run it as root in the current directory like this:
+#
+# ./install-packages
+#
+# Note that this script does not make any attempt to remove or upgrade existing
+# packages.  If you want to upgrade an existing installation, you will be better
+# served using the pkgtools directly.  Here's how to upgrade all the packages in
+# this series:
+#
+# upgradepkg *.t?z  (upgrades already installed packages)
+# installpkg *.t?z  (installs all packages, to make sure new ones are installed)
+#
+# If you upgrade a series like this, afterwards you might need to merge over any
+# required changes in the new config files, which will have the suffix .new.
+# These can be found like this:
+#
+# find / -name "*.new"
+#
+# OK, on with the show!  Enjoy!  :-)
