Unfortunately, it doesn't. I took a 1.1.4 CD release, followed the instructions through first boot/password/adduser/dselect. With my Slackware mindset, I selected everything that I thought would be useful, not knowing how easy it is to add later. Halfway through the install, packages started failing. Required packages didn't install. Needless to say, it was a mess. I reformatted, and started over. I only installed the preselected stuff, and it went well. Re-ran dselect, selected all the stuff from before, and it went smoothly. I guess that there was a pre-dependency problem involved. | This is OFFICIAL WRITTEN notification that I want to be REMOVED | | from ALL commercial mailing lists.
