[CVALE] Another Slackware question:

[Terry]

Hi Michael,

ftp.slackware.com does NOT have the ISO files only the checksum files. There are many mirror sites 
that really do mirror what's on the Slackware site and therefore also don't have the ISO files either.

The following USA sites listed at slackware.com appears to have the ISO files for Slack 11.

ftp://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/
http://slackware.mirrors.easynews.com/linux/slackware/
ftp://ftp.cs.stevens-tech.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/

Note that Slackware 12.0 was just released yesterday but the USA mirror sites don't appear to have 
it yet.

I don't have a favorite site for downloading Slack as I support the project by buying the CDs when 
they are distributed.

Terry
