I have just finished a major update of SLS. All of the "a" series has
been replaced (in particular, the sysinstall utility has been updated,
and includes a fix nomad@watson.ibm.com sent in to stop permission
problems when installing packages after a minimal install. NOTE:
the initial .98 "sysinstall" will not install packages with the
correct permissions. The new one is in "menus.taz".

Other changes include upgrade of the kernel to .98p1, a reorganization
of most of the "x" series, and corrected permissions, in many of the
packages. Read the history file for more info. If you want to correct
the permission problems without downloading, cd to the root and execute
the following:

==========perms.fix===============================================================
chmod -R a+r,a-w usr/local/lib/menus/*
chmod -R a+r,a-w usr/lib/X11
chmod -R a+r,a-w usr/X386
chmod -R a+r,a-w usr/include
chmod -R a+r,a-w usr/g++-include
chmod -R a+r,a-w usr/man
chmod ugo+rwxt tmp
chmod ugo+rwxt usr/tmp
rm -f usr/src/linux
mkdir usr/src/linux
===================================================================================

The "x" reorg uses the "/install/doinst.sh" script facility in sysinstall
to prevent double compression which saves one whole disk.
