    First, uname -i & -p are not working - they return 'unknown'. This 
is on an Athlon box so maybe it has something to do with the processor. 
This is pretty important for building gcc and a lot of other 
configure-based source distributions. Someone mentioned something about 
a new coreutils package on IRC but I've got the latest one according to 
the slackware site.

    Second, the ANNOUNCE.10_0 claims that Slackware comes with a 2.6 
kernel option but the directory it wants me to look into simply doesn't 
exist. Er... ok well now (as I type) I finally got a google link that 
points me to an article that points me to the right location. This is an 
example where wrong docs are worse than no docs at all it seems... we'll 
see how that goes!

    Does seem to be a distinct absense of support for Slackware than the 
other major distros. Guess this comes from being non-commercial. Oh 
well... if this doesn't work out perhaps I'll give Gentoo another shot. 
I understand they've improved the install process finally. :)

    thanx,
