Slackware 13.0 x86_64 is released as stable!  Thanks to everyone who
helped make this release possible -- see the RELEASE_NOTES for the
credits.  The ISOs are off to the replicator.  This time it will be a
6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.
We're taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com.  Please consider
picking up a copy to help support the project.  Once again, thanks to
the entire Slackware community for all the help testing and fixing
things and offering suggestions during this development cycle.
As always, have fun and enjoy!  -P.

+# This is a simple script to install a package series from the command line.
+# If you're already running Slackware, you can just run this script to install
+# the packages.
+#
+# I originally got the idea for this tool because Slackware with both KDE and
+# GNOME doesn't fit on a single CD-ROM anymore, so I wanted to provide a quick
+# way to add a series later on with the same ease as the initial installation.
+#
+# To use this script, just run it as root in the current directory like this:
+#
+# ./install-packages
+#
+# Note that this script does not make any attempt to remove or upgrade existing
+# packages.  If you want to upgrade an existing installation, you will be better
+# served using the pkgtools directly.  Here's how to upgrade all the packages in
+# this series:
+#
+# upgradepkg *.t?z  (upgrades already installed packages)
+# installpkg *.t?z  (installs all packages, to make sure new ones are installed)
+#
+# If you upgrade a series like this, afterwards you might need to merge over any
+# required changes in the new config files, which will have the suffix .new.
+# These can be found like this:
+#
+# find / -name "*.new"
+#
+# OK, on with the show!  Enjoy!  :-)

+# Use the existing maketag script to provide a package selection menu:
+sh maketag
+
+# Quick bail if nothing was requested:
+if grep ADD /var/log/setup/tmp/SeTnewtag 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null ; then
+  true
+else
+  rm -f /var/log/setup/tmp/SeTnewtag
+  exit
+fi
+
+# Install the selected packages:
+for PKG in *.t?z ; do
+  if [ ! "$ROOT" = "" ]; then
+    installpkg -root $ROOT -infobox -tagfile /var/log/setup/tmp/SeTnewtag $PKG
+  else
+    installpkg -infobox -tagfile /var/log/setup/tmp/SeTnewtag $PKG
+  fi

+rm -f /var/log/setup/tmp/SeTnewtag

+echo "Done installing packages."
