- I've just installed this SLS version over the weekend. Other
- than typical newbe problems, things went perfectly for the
- full system. The only problems I found were:
-
- 1) Several size zero files... This could have been a result of
- Apple File-Exchange
-
- 2) The file tex-manpg.tpz on T2 has one too many letters in its
- name.
-
- 3) For some reason my linux refused to install the T disks
- with sysinstall -disk. However, I was able to manually
- install these disks one package at a time. Maybe this
- was caused by the same thing that caused Richard's problem?
-
- 4) There is no documentation of what the D disks are for...
