Slackware 14.2slackware-14.2

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!  :-)

-.TH SETUP 8 "21 May 1994" "Slackware Version 2.0.0"
-.SH NAME
-setup \- Slackware system setup tool.
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B setup
-.LP
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B setup
-is the system installation and setup tool provided with the Slackware Linux
-distribution.
-.LP
-.B setup 
-is usually used to install software packages from your hard drive, a CD,
-NFS, or floppy disks. It is also a frontend for 
-.B pkgtool
-and many configuration scripts that come with various packages, such as the
-scripts which allow you to install LILO, configure your timezone, set your
-keyboard fonts, make bootdisks, and many other tasks.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B HELP
-Read the
-.B setup
-help file.
-.TP
-.B KEYMAP
-Change your keyboard map to one of many international and specialized keymaps
-available. 
-.B NOTE:
-This change will not become permanent unless you go through the 
-.B CONFIGURE option.
-.TP
-.B MAKE TAGS
-This allows you to write out custom tagfiles. A
-.B tagfile
-is a list of package names followed by one of these tags:
-.B ADD
-(required),
-.B SKP
-(skip),
-.B REC
-(recommended) or,
-.B OPT
-(optional). These allow you to completely automate your software installation.
-You can either put these files on the first disk of each disk series 
-(optionally using a custom 3 character extension), or in a custom location
-altogether, such as on a floppy disk in ./a1, ./ap1, ./d1, ..., directories.
-The format of a line in a 
-.B tagfile
-is like this:
-.LP
-package: 
-.B TAG
-.TP
-.B SOURCE
-Select your source media, such as hard disk, NFS, CD, or floppy. You should
-select installation from a directory if your CD or NFS directory has already
-been mounted, as it probably is if you're using 
-.B setup
-on your hard drive.
-.TP
-.B TARGET
-Select your target directory. For testing purposes, you may install the
-packages to a directory other than '/'. Don't expect them to run from there,
-though.
-.TP
-.B DISK SETS
-Select the disk sets you want to install. You can also install custom disk
-sets by tagging the
-.B CUS
-selection. The disk sets must be Slackware-like: they require the diskxxx?
-index on each disk, such as diskxyz1 for the first disk of the XYZ series.
-On the last disk there must be a file called
-.B install.end
-to signal the end of the disk series.
-.TP
-.B INSTALL
-Once you've gone through 
-.B SOURCE
-and
-.B DISK SETS
-( and possibly 
-.B TARGET
-), then you select this choice to go on with the software installation. You'll
-be asked what type of tagfiles you want to use and then 
-.B pkgtool
-will be called to install the software.
-.TP
-.B CONFIGURE
-This option runs through several scripts that configure various aspects of your
-Linux system. These might include LILO installation, timezone configuration,
-and other things.
-.TP
-.B PKGTOOL
-This option calls the 
-.B pkgtool(8)
-utility for you.
-.TP
-.B EXIT
-Exit the
-.B setup
-program.
