=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
There's no linux packages or distribution at the site below, you
need to have or get a slackware linux distribution on cdrom.
There's a number of places you can get a slackware linux
distribution on cdrom for as little as $2.
What you'll find here is the means to install a slackware
linux distribution from cdrom or hard drive (see installing
linux below).
The rootdisk "loopslak.bin" below, is based on the rootdisk
"color.gz" from slackware 7.2 current.
The rootdisk now has ext3 and reiserfs (from kernel v2.4.1
or later) filesystem support.
The rootdisk also has umsdos and loop linux support, you can
create a linux system with a ext2, ext3, or reiserfs filesystem
on a dos/win9x partition, and boot it from there.
The loop linux system can't be larger than 2000mb, you can
enlarge or reduce the size of the system after you create it.
# loop_resize "From the rootdisk!"
The rootdisk can also be used as a rescue system, it has been
updated and changed, but should work with any existing slackware
bootdisks.
Read CHANGES below for more changes.
The present slackware bootdisks don't have ext3 or reiserfs support.
If you want a bootdisk with support for either of them, you would
have to create it yourself.
This is an example of how to write a slackware boot and root
disk to a 1.44mb formatted floppy, under dos and linux.
Create boot floppy!
C:\ rawrite2 bare.i a:
# dd if=bare.i of=/dev/fd0
Create root floppy!
C:\ rawrite2 loopslak.bin a:
# dd if=loopslak.bin of=/dev/fd0
You can get slackware bootdisks at the slackware site or
on the slackware cdrom in the bootdsks.144 directory.
ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/linux/slackware/slackware/bootdsks.144
Read README.TXT at the above site!
You can get kernels "bzImage" here or on the slackware cdrom in
the kernels directory.
ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/linux/slackware/slackware/kernels
Read README.NOW at the above site!
You can create a bootdisk with the kernel of your choice.
The kernel must have "ram disk and initrd support", all slackware
kernels have this.
The kernel should also have "loop device support" if you want to
create a loop linux system, all slackware kernels have this.
Get "makedisk.zip" and unzip it.
Under dos/win9x you would do it this way.
C:\ pkunzip -d makedisk.zip
C:\makedisk> makedisk kernel "Create bootdisk!"
Under linux you would do it this way.
# unzip makedisk.zip
makedisk# chmod 755 makedisk.sh
makedisk# makedisk.sh kernel "Create bootdisk!"
####################### Installing Linux! ##########################
Q. How do i install a slackware linux system?
A. Put the cd with the slackware distribution in the drive.
Use the boot and root floppies you created.
Put the boot floppy in the drive and restart your computer,
at the boot prompt press enter, you'll be told when to INSERT
the root floppy.
If you don't want to use floppies you can boot "loopslak.bin"
from your dos/win9x system, using loadlin.exe.
C:\ loadlin kernel initrd=loopslak.bin root=/dev/ram0 rw
ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/linux/slackware/slackware/kernels/LOADLIN.EXE
After you boot the rootdisk you should run setup.
# setup
If you want to create a umsdos or loop linux system on a
dos/win9x system, choose "Umsdos_loop" from the menu.
If you want to create a linux system on it's own partition,
choose "Linux_native" from the menu.
Umsdos_loop Install linux on a dos/win partition
Linux_native Install linux on it's own partition
Chose LOOP_HELP or LINUX_HELP from the menu for help!.
When you run 'setup' you'll have the option of installing
the slackware linux system, from cdrom or a directory on
your dos/win9x system.
1 Install from a slackware CD-ROM
etc.
3 Install from a pre-mounted directory "Read below!"
If you have a directory on you're dos/win9x system with the
slackware packages (at least the a1 series), you could chose
option 3 above and answer /mnt/slakware below.
Which would mean that you have \slakware\a1 \slakware\a2
etc., on your dos/win9x system.
Which directory would you like to install from?
/mnt/slakware
########################### CHANGES! ##################################
These are some of the changes to the installation setup.
The addition of "menu express" and "expert express" modes.
"menu" mode puts up a menu at the start of each series of
packages, from which you can install systems such as
the GNU C/C++ compiler, or the Linux source code. It's
easy to use, and makes installation go much faster than
"newbie" mode.
"menu express" mode is the same as "menu", except it puts
the menu for each package series up front, then installs
your choices non-stop. You can also go back over selected
menus, if you want to make changes.
"expert" mode is similar, but allows the toggling of every
individual package. This offers the greatest control over
what gets installed on the machine, but can be tricky for
beginners.
"expert express" mode is the same as "expert", except it puts
the menu for each package series up front, then installs your
choices non-stop. You can also go back over selected menus,
if you want to make changes.
The "cpkgtool" script from the slackware 7.2 current "hdsetup.tgz"
package has been changed, it now has four new options, that's the
only change.
# pkgtool
Convert rpm or deb package to slackware tgz format
List contents of rpm, deb, tar.gz, tgz, or tar.bz2 package
Monitor make install and create record of install
Create slackware package from /var/log/packages/package_name
You can convert x.rpm or x.deb packages to slackware x.tgz format.
Yow can monitor a command like "make install" and create a record
of the install.
The record will be put in /var/log/packages/package_name
and can be removed like any installed package.
# removepkg package_name
You'll also have the option of creating a slackware tgz package
of the install, after the install or later using /var/log/packages/
package_name as the guide.
Usually when you compile a package you do this, more or less.
# ./configure --prefix=/usr
# make
# make install
Instead of the "make install" step do 'pkgtool', and
chose monitor from the menu.
# ./configure --prefix=/usr
# make
# pkgtool
Do this to install it.
# installpkg cpkgtool.tgz

You can get loopslak.bin, cpkgtool.tgz, makedisk.zip, and
rawrite2.exe here.

Subject: LessTif Release 0.92.6 is out
Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2001 22:44:45 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
The LessTif Core Team is pleased to announce
Release 0.92.26
of the LessTif library!
This is a another "PICO release", the first LessTif release in 2001!
As usual we fixed some bugs in the libraries and tried to further
improve the configuration and build process. So e.g. we removed some
problems with emacs and NEdit.
We start to embed mandatory dependencies into our libraries to avoid
compatibility problems (i.e. libraries used on compile-time
and run-time don't match) as far as current GNU libtool supports this.
Additional i18n support has been added to the Text* widgets.
Check out the NOTES and ChangeLog files for detailled
info on what we have done!
Our companion libraries Xlt and Xbae also got some fixes and
enhancements - check out their specific documentation.
About LessTif:
LessTif is a LGPL'd implemention of the OSF/Motif standard GUI toolkit
for X11. LessTif aims to be source compatible with the OSF/Motif versions 1.2
and 2.1. We're almost done with the 1.2 part, but we still lack
some substantial parts of the 2.1 functionality. (Actually
most 2.x applications do already build, but may not work properly yet.)
So at this point, almost any Motif 1.2 apps compile and run
out of the box with LessTif! The LessTif Core team is interested
in hearing about Motif applications which don't work with LessTif.
Bug reports are welcome; patches are even more welcome!
More information, source code, and binaries for several platforms
are available at:

Subject: mpatrol 1.4.3 - malloc debugging library
Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2001 22:44:35 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
mpatrol 1.4.3 - A full-featured open source malloc debugging library
The mpatrol library is a link library that attempts to diagnose run-time
errors that are caused by the wrong use of dynamically allocated memory.
Along with providing a comprehensive and configurable log of all dynamic
memory operations that occurred during the lifetime of a program, the
mpatrol library performs extensive checking to detect any misuse of
dynamically allocated memory. All of this functionality can be
integrated into existing code through the inclusion of a single header
file at compile-time. All logging and tracing output from the mpatrol
library is sent to a separate log file in order to keep its diagnostics
separate from any that the program being tested might generate. A wide
variety of library settings can also be changed at run-time via an
environment variable, thus removing the need to recompile or relink in
order to change the library's behaviour.
Changes for 1.4.3:
* Added the --call-graph option to the mprof command and fixed a rare
bug when displaying the leak table and call graph with call sites
which have no associated symbols.
* Added the --gui and --verbose options to the mptrace command, which
now also displays useful statistics.
* Added chapters on heap corruption, memory leaks and porting to the
mpatrol manual and moved the Tools and Utilities sections to the top
level.

Subject: Ghostscript PCL-3+ driver pcl3 3.2 released
Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2001 22:44:56 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
- --Qxx1br4bt0+wmkIi
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline
Hello,
I've just released pcl3 3.2, a ghostscript device driver for various
printers understanding Hewlett-Packard's Printer Command Language,
Level 3+ (PCL 3+). This is the first non-beta release following
hpdj 2.6, as this driver was previously called.
The main functional extensions with respect to hpdj are:
* More (now 24) printer models are explicitly supported.
* The PCL generator is more versatile with respect to newer
PCL-3 dialects.
* I've added a command "pcl3opts" which parses PCL-3 files and
guesses the options needed to generate a file with similar
settings using pcl3. Use this command in particular to determine
the parameters used by an official MS Windows driver for your
printer.
* The driver (finally!) supports Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion.
* The driver can handle media which have to be fed long edge first.
* The driver permits using the following functionality if supported
by the printer:
+ Several input or output trays
+ Banner printing
+ Duplex printing
* The driver comes with PPD files and a CUPS filter.
There are also some minor extensions and numerous other changes,
(almost) all of which are listed in the NEWS file in the distribution.
The WWW home for this driver is now
http://home.t-online.de/home/Martin.Lottermoser/pcl3.html
instead of ftp://ftp.sbs.de/pub/graphics/ghostscript/pcl3/pcl3.html
as for hpdj.
Happy printing,
Martin Lottermoser

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
The open-sourced Ruby programming language is perhaps best described
as a cross between Smalltalk and Perl. It has all the strong
object-orientation features of Smalltalk, but at the same time gives
you the convenience of a Perl or a Python. Ruby is rapidly gaining
mindshare among programmers and web developers all over the world.
Recently, Addison Wesley agreed to release the content of the book
'Programming Ruby' under the Open Publication license. The book is
available online and for download at http://www.rubycentral.com/book/.

/pub/linux/apps/ham. The file may also be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.amsat.org/amsat/software/Linux/pbpg-2.0.tar.gz.
The package has been changed substancially on several points relative
to the previous releases:
1) PB and PG now adhere more closely to the File Hierarchy Standard
(FHS): The configuration file is located in /etc/pbpg. The documentation
is by default installed in /usr/local/share/pbpg. The suggested run time
directory is /var/spool/pbpg.
2) The configuration file is now common to PB and PG. Furthermore, the
new configuration file contains the parameters for all satellites. The
satellite of interest must be specified when calling the programs,
either as a command line parameter (-s) or as an environment variable
(SATELLITE).
3) The internal structure of PB has been redesigned. PB has been split
into two parts: an 'engine part' that takes care of the communication
with the satellite and a 'presentation part' that takes care of
presenting the results of PB's work to the operator. The engine part
is 'pb' and the presentation part is 'pbctrl'. The two parts
communicate over a FIFO and use an XML syntax for the data exchange.
The basic functionality of PB has not been altered.
4) The package now uses a standard configure script. Details on the
installation may be found in the file INSTALL.
The lsm reads as follows:
