Hi, I have been a die hard Linux user for the past year or so. I started with Slackware 2.0.0 and have done an infinite amount of upgrading to the point that I myself don't know what packages are current or outdated. I currently use kernel 1.2.3 and X11 3.1.1. The other day I finally got sick of downloading the latest ELF utilities/libs that I decided to get a full version on CD-ROM. I didn't have a CD drive so I went out and bought a 562-J. Installation under Linux proved to be surprising simple. What I would like to know is what is the best CD-TOM Linux package available here in Australia(Brisbane) for me to purchase. My system is mostly a.out and I read somewhere that Slackware 3.0 is full ELF. Will I have to replace everything to ELF? Will I have to upgrade to a new kernel version? I really would like to avoid this as I have hand patched this kernel to suit my particular system. Don't want to go through that again...... Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tony -- /------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Tony Sarathchandra / / (_)__ __ ____ __ | The choice| | Computer Systems Engineering / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / | of a GNU | | Email:e3315636@student.uq.edu.au /____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ | Generation| | WWW: http://student.uq.edu.au/~e3315636/ | | \____________________________________________________________|___________/
