General Info

Slackware mirror(s) are used here as alternate to 'slackware.com'. Which at this time is having issues.

Please consider Oregon State mirror or AlphaGeek's list of mirrors usage instead of the official 'slackware.com' web site at this time

You can get a list of mirror links at Get Slackware Linux:'Slackware® Mirrors' section.

Please check that your issue hasn't been mentioned in some of the official documentation. Good places to start might be:

Stable

• ChangeLog
• CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT
• RELEASE_NOTES
• UPGRADE.TXT

Current

Perhaps more important than with the stable version, check your issue hasn't been mentioned in some of the official documentation.

• ChangeLog <- Slackware mirror
