Slackware 9.0 (progress)

[Collins Richey]

Well, it's been a really productive day.

1. Found the kde 3.1.1 slack packages on the kde site and rebuilt kde. 
I'm not much into kde, but it works when I need it.

2.  Got phoenix nightly working with all plugins.  The key to this is
compatibility libraries which I ripped off my gentoo install.  I seem to
remember that there is a RedHat RPM with similar libraries.  Don't leave
home without it if you expect to use plugins.  I imagine these
libraries would work with a mozilla compiled with the older compiler as
well.

3.  Killed off sendmail, but I still need to do the same for inetd and
portmapper, which I have no need for.

4.  Printer working fine (lprng) after copying over my printcap and
laserjet filter.  And nary a cups in sight.

I haven't found a non-kde mixer yet, but I can fall back on kmix for
now.  Interestingly enough, my sound card now works with the kernel
modules as opposed to alsa!  Kernel is 2.4.20 and I was on .19 before.

A really fine distro, the best I have ever encountered other than
gentoo.  Mr. Volkerding and his troops deserve kudos.
