Changelog
Added pdfEdit to editors
- kernel recompiled, had errors AFTER recompiling madwifi, might have been a corrupted file from a bad burn -- but did ot take a chance.
- Changed font used in graphic login for "Just in Case" -- (Little buttons that give the user the ability to shutdown or drop into the console.) Was hard to read...
- This is an update to package x/xdm.
- Pulled /etc/profile.d/oo.sh from etc package. Is included now with the OpenOffice package on CD2, so no worry keeping up to date or mixed-up paths. (This file puts "/opt/openofficex.x/program" into path so you can start the programs without hassle.)
- Installer initrd.img sets mount for temporary memory (/dev/shm) in /etc/fstab, but with stricter options than Slack: defaults,nosuid,noexec,rw Might not stop abuse, but every little bit helps...
- Lilo backdated to non-boot image version. Too problematic.
- HPLIP and CUPS are versions 2.7.10 and 1.3.3, respectively, in order to keep a working HPLIP version.
