New features in version 130217 of Exton-Slack (compared with the previous version from 130115)
I have replaced kernel 3.7.2-exton with kernel 3.7.8-exton with support for “everything”. Kernel 3.7.8 is the latest available stable kernel on Kernel.org. KDE is upgraded to version 4.10. All other component software is also upgraded to the latest Slackware version by now. I may mention in particular GParted 0.14.1 (latest, not in Slackware’s repositories), AbiWord 2.8.6 (latest, not in Slackware’s repositories, Firefox 18.0.1, Thunderbird 17.0.2 and GCC 4.7.1. This is my first Slackware live system for 64bit computers. Furthermore I have installed Grub2, which can be used as boot loader (if you want) after a hard drive install.
