Splack 10.0 Beta test

Just loaded up Splack 10 Beta on my Ultra60, and loving it. Just a few problems that need to be fixed.

- Seems that the OpenSSL libs are missing, cause SSHd is whinning about libcrypto.so.0 missing.

sshd: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

- Also, under /lib, libssl.so link is broken cause libssl.so.0 doesn't exist. Taken a look at the openssl / openssl-lib packages, and they are defiently missing from the BETA distro.

- Along with makewhatis link is busted.

- Sendmail is also missing libraries as well

sendmail: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-3.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is all I have found so far, I'm still digging around.

Also, I would like to offer my help with Splack, since I was ramping up to start my own port, and stumbled across you guys. So if one of the devs would like to contact me backchannel to discuss what I can help with, please do.

I personally own a Ultra60 (300Mhz Dual-Proc) and I have a Ultra10 (450Mhz proc) and will be purchasing a second Ultra10 in the next couple of weeks.

Whoohoo!

Thank -God- for Splack. I tried gentoo, then debian... All bullshit, requiring tons of manual rubbish during install.

Then did as I should have from the start: googled for slackware +sun == splack.

Installation on a sun sparcstation 5 ultra (which was gathering dust since we couldn't be bothered with solaris) was as smooth as silk - exactly what we've come to expect from slackware...

Good job guys.

Hi,

I downloaded this and tried it on a SparcStation IPX, but
I got a lot of bus errors when I was trying to run the
installer. I even got bus errors just trying to run fdisk.

I then downloaded Splack 8 and tried that instead, and the
installer works much better on my IPX. No further than
that yet.

Ben.
