Slackware 8.1 is released!!

[Todd Wirth]

Greg,

Just downloaded the ISO myself this weekend. I must say Patrick does a good
job. I installed on a spare hard drive just to see if it's worth upgrading--
I think I will. I can't remember what site I eventually got it from but I
know what you mean about the sites being full.

Another happy Slacker :P

I got the ISO LATE last night from ftp.slackware.com it's somewhere
around 688 MB.  I noticed that the mirror at ftp://carroll.cac.csu.edu
had the ISO directory, but only the README and md5's in it.  It took me
4 hours (trying about 10 minutes every 45 min.) to get a connect to the
Slackware site.  I usually use the csu site 'cause it's faster,
especially using PowerLink.  As it is, took about 45 minutes.  If you
can't get a copy, let me know.  I'll probably be at the next meeting
because my daughter will make my life hell as only a teenager can if I
don't take her! ;-)  She's been bitten by the Linux bug, and is trying
to set up an old P-233 as her very own Slackware box.

I checked out the ISO on the ftp.slackware.com site and it was only 200+

MB.  Did you download the ISO?  If so, how big was it?
