Legal note: the software on this CD-ROM to the best of our knowledge is
copyrighted but freely distributable. Most Linux software fall under the
GNU public license. The full text is available on the CD-ROM. Other programs
have different copyrights.
We at Trans-Ameritech are doing our best to comply with all the requirements
of the copyright owners. If you notice any software on this disk that is not
supposed to be distributed on CD-ROMs, please let us know. 

This CD-ROM is a "supplement" to regular Trans-Ameritech releases in a sense 
that it doesn't contain the "live" filesystem or dos tools to facilitate
installing Linux on your PC. It is however possible and quite easy to install
the Slackware distribution from this CD-ROM. You can either follow instructions
from Slackware to create the root/boot floppies or you can use the pair
created by the Trans-Ameritech's setup.exe on the regular release CD-ROM.

WHAT'S ON THIS CD-ROM.

slackware - the full slackware distribution - probably the best Linux 
	distribution there is. Just about everything you need. The current
	version 2.1.0 contains several important updates like XFree86 3.1

slackware_source - the sources for the above. 

Note:   a few things are taken out: the ckermit and xv 3.x are examples of
	packages removed for copyright reasons. 

bogus - an alternative distribution that is totaly unsupported but is claimed
	by the author to be the hacker's dream.
	If you do not have experience developing, installing, and maintaining 
	a Linux system, BOGUS is probably not for you.
	See bogus/Announce-BOGUS-1.0 for more info.

extras - a collection of things that are either newer than those in the 
	slackware release, or thnigs that vere never included into slackware.

    most  - browse or page through a text file, MUCH better than "more".

    slang - (pronounced ``sssslang'') is a powerful stack based language
	interpreter with a C-like syntax which may be easily embedded into 
	another application, making it extensible. 

    cbb-0.44a - balance your check-book! Some compatibility with Quicken(tm).
             
    rocat-0.85 - a Linux based BBS with many cool features, like support for
	mounted CD-ROM.

    chimera.bin.XFree-3.1.tgz - similar to Mosaic, but doesn't need Motif libs.

    deco.bin.tgz - like Norton Commander for DOS.

    jove-4.6.14.32 - small emacs-like editor.

    uit-4.2b - a set of utilities for Linux.
    
    wine - is a very ALPHA Windows emulator that lets you run SOME
	MS-Windows applications under Linux. UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

FreeBSD - the new release 2.0 of FreeBSD. This is a full distribution with
    the binaries and the sources. It should be possible to install FreeBSD
    from this distribution, but Trans-Ameritech doesn't provide support for
    it due to the lack of resources.
