RELEASE NOTES
-------------

QUICK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Slackintosh is splitted into different ISO images. You'll need the 
second image for X.org (or use the DVD)

* Download the iso images you need and burn them with 'cdrecord' or 
  similar applications.
* Insert the first CD into your CDROM-Drive and start your Mac.
* Hit 'c' a after you hear the 'startup tune'. You should now see the 
  'yaboot:' prompt.

Now:

 -> Hit ENTER to continue with the default kernel
 -> Type 'installfb' and hit ENTER if the default kernel
    doesn't like your monitor (Flickers)
    
* After the system is done booting, login as root (no password) and 
  run 'mac-fdisk /dev/your_harddrive' if you need to create
  partitions.
  -> You need a 'partition map' (hit 'i' if you don't have one)
  -> You need a 'bootstrap partition (hit 'b' to create one)
  -> You need a normal linux-partition, hit 'c' to create a newone
  -> A swap partition is recommended. Create a new partition
     using 'c' and calling it 'swap'

* Run 'setup' :-)

What is SlackIntosh?
====================

Slackintosh is a port of Slackware GNU/Linux to PPC (Macintosh).

Russell Kroll was the first person who ported Slackware
to PPC (http://slackintosh.exploits.org), but the project
stalled with an unfinished 9.1 ..

We started again from scratch porting 10.1 to PPC.


Is it real Slack?
=================

Beginning with 12.0: Yes, almost everything is there.


Upgrading from 12.0 to 12.1
===========================

Upgrading Slackintosh is the same as upgrading Slackware, read Pat's 
UPGRADE.TXT instructions.

You could also try slapt-get.
