Slackware Linux 11.0 RC4 Released

The released candidate 4 of Slackware 11.0 has been released today: " I wasn't planning a Slackware 11.0 release candidate 4, but here we go; Make sure /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug exists before writing to it; Change log level from "crit" or "err" since udev doesn't support "crit". Silly me, I saw some mention of syslog levels in the docs and assumed it supported all of them. At least in unrecognized cases the default is "err" anyway, so this bug didn't cause ill effects. Accuracy in documentation is, nevertheless, always a good thing to strive for. (I'm referring here to my own inaccurate additions to udev.conf...); By the way, I did try ALSA 1.0.12 and noticed that emu10k1 wasn't compiling for Linux 2.4.33.3. I think we are probably safer sticking with the well tested ALSA 1.0.11 for the release." - says Patrick Volkerding.
