Slackware 13.0slackware-13.0

Wed Aug 26 10:00:38 CDT 2009
Slackware 13.0 x86_64 is released as stable!  Thanks to everyone who
helped make this release possible -- see the RELEASE_NOTES for the
credits.  The ISOs are off to the replicator.  This time it will be a
6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.
We're taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com.  Please consider
picking up a copy to help support the project.  Once again, thanks to
the entire Slackware community for all the help testing and fixing
things and offering suggestions during this development cycle.
As always, have fun and enjoy!  -P.

+
+Welcome to the 09Slackware07 Linux custom USB boot stick!
+
+By default, this stick boots a root Linux partition on $ROOT_DEVICE when you
+hit ENTER.  If you'd like to boot some other partition, use a command like
+this on the prompt below:
+
+    mount root=/dev/sda1 ro
+
+Where "/dev/sda1" is the partition you want to boot, and "ro" specifies that
+the partition should be initially mounted as read-only.  If you wish to mount
+the partition read-write, use "rw" instead.  To set the video console mode,
+use the vga= parameter (press F1 to see a table).  You may also add any other
+kernel parameters you might need depending on your hardware, and which
+drivers are included in your kernel.
