This is not really an update, but rather just a couple of
comments.
If you were one of the prudent people to wait for SLS .98
to settle down, it should be ok to download it now. Most
of the problems seem fixed.
If you already have SLS, just do a "ls -lt ??/*" to see which
packages have changed. Of special interest are the "z?fix.taz"
files, located if present on the last disk of a distribution.
This contains the fixes either as replacement files, or as a
shell script that does the work for you. When the fully
corrected packages are uploaded, the "z?fix.taz" files will
mysteriously dissappear. Until then, one-off installation
may not get permissions right.
Also note, although SLS is so easy to install, that even an
non administrator can do it, it still presumes that you are
an administrator. And part of an administrators job is making
sure that files have the correct permissions :-) :-).
Seriously, thanks to all who have provided input.
