- Hi there!
-
- Could some kind soul please specify for me what the different disk
- series in SLS are for? I have counted A(4) B(7) C(3) D(2) S(1) T(3)
- and X(6), and I believe that
-
- A = kernel and essential utilities
- C = compiler and libraries
- T = TeX
- X = X-Windows
-
- Could someone that knows SLS better than I do please confirm or
- correct this and tell me what the other series are for? I have been
- signed up to maintain a server of PD/Freeware/Shareware PC software
- here at Northwestern, and of course I'd like to add Linux, so I'm
- working on a "duplication station" program: you supply it with disks
- and it will format and copy them for you.
