Tue Jun 20 19:59:43 PDT 2000 Rebuilt ZipSlack from Slackware 7.1, Linux 2.2.16, and glibc-2.1.3. Unfortunately, things keep growing, but the size of a 100MB Zip Disk doesn't (they sort of remind me of floppy disks in that regard ;), so there are somewhat less features this time around. In particular, there's no longer room for a subset of the kernel sources, which will limit what can be compiled unless kernel sources are added. ---------------------------- Wed Apr 26 20:40:27 PDT 2000 Patch kernel to fix crash when ls'ing /dev. ---------------------------- Thu Oct 21 18:43:39 CDT 1999 Upgrade to Linux 2.2.13. ---------------------------- Fri Oct 15 10:56:19 CDT 1999 Make symlinks for /usr/i386-slackware-*, as the kernel mangling algorithm doesn't seem to grok directories that long and similar. ---------------------------- Thu Oct 14 20:58:42 CDT 1999 Completely rebuilt ZipSlack from Slackware 7.0, and Linux 2.2.12. ZipSlack is now based on glibc-2.1.2. Added ZipSlack split into floppy-sized chunks in the split/ directory. ---------------------------- Wed Jun 16 21:23:13 CDT 1999 Two changes were made to zipslack.zip: 1. \--LINUX-.--- was removed, as it was preventing the virtual /DOS directory from working. 2. The default kernel should now have working support for parallel-port Zip drives. The bootdisk.img has also been replaced with one using the fixed kernel, and the kernel itself can be found in ../kernels/zipslack.s/. ---------------------------- Sat May 8 23:38:08 CDT 1999 New ZipSlack 4.0 release: ZipSlack rebuilt from Slackware 4.0 packages. Now uses the Linux 2.2.6 kernel. fourmeg.zip rebuilt for ZipSlack 4.0. ---------------------------- Wed Oct 28 04:01:07 CST 1998 New ZipSlack 3.6 release: ZipSlack rebuilt from Slackware 3.6 packages. fourmeg.zip rebuilt for ZipSlack 3.6. ---------------------------- Mon Oct 26 01:45:51 CST 1998 Upgraded bootdisk.img to linux-2.0.35 for upcoming ZipSlack release. ---------------------------- Fri Aug 14 20:59:26 CDT 1998 Added fourmeg.zip package. This adds an 8 megabyte swap file to ZipSlack, allowing it to boot on machines with only 4 megabytes of RAM. Hopefully this will help make some of those old 386 laptops useful again. :^) ---------------------------- Fri Jun 5 21:00:59 PDT 1998 zipslack.zip rebuilt from the latest Slackware. Upgraded bootdisk.img to linux-2.0.34. ---------------------------- Wed May 27 02:25:45 CDT 1998 Rebuilt zipslack.zip from current Slackware snapshot, added 'dip' package, and added PCMCIA support. NOTE: This won't allow you to install to a drive connected through a PCMCIA card, only to use PCMCIA devices. Booting Linux on a PCMCIA device would require using an initial ramdisk (initrd) with PCMCIA support, and my tests here have shown that an initrd doesn't work with a UMSDOS Linux system installed in \LINUX. ---------------------------- Tue May 12 23:57:28 CDT 1998 Updated zipslack.zip archive to use new /vmlinuz, and set -R rdev flag to 0. ---------------------------- Fri May 8 22:24:37 CDT 1998 Recompiled kernel on zipslack.img using newer NCR 53c8xx SCSI driver. This is reported to work better with Diamond SCSI cards.
