Wow...that was a lot more interest than I expected to generate. Here's
how I'll try to respond:
-First priority (by Monday?) is to generate rough bootable .iso images
for the majority of us users. QT4 and recent versions of GTK2, XFCE4,
and xorg-server are probably the most significant upgrades I've made. I
have 64-bit kernels, and I'll assume that the slackintosh-current
kernels will suffice for most of us on 32-bit boxes.
-The consensus, I think, is that KDE is unnecessary for now, and that
recent versions of Firefox and office software are available
elsewhere. I shall assume that TeX is also best installed as TeXLive,
and I'll therefore not worry about tetex, either. A working IcedTea
would still be nice, though.
-My system is more up-to-date than Slackintosh-current as of
mid-October, but it is not synched to the upcoming release of
Slackware...yet. If our drafts of the installers work, then I hope
we can quickly bring whatever packages need updating to the appropriate
-current versions not long after the new release of Slackware drops.
Thanks for the replies, and if anyone wants to team up for the
compiling and pre-testing of .iso files, please let me know. I suspect
yaboot-able cds will require some help and some...practice.
Cheers,
-derek, whose G5 has no cdrom drive
