Slarm64 on Pinebook [Slackware Arm - 64 bit]
#11
A recent addition to Slackware -current upstream has rendered the old images dangerous to use if not fully informed.  Specifically, upgrading the previous images without also adding PAM and a few dependencies would result in the user being locked out of the system, even with a correct password.  In fact, this has already happened to a few users, myself included (on a quick-n-dirty test system at least).

Hence, it was necessary to upgrade the Slarm64 Pinebook images to avoid such a disaster for uniformed users.  Here are the updated base and xfce images, along with the md5sum files:

For those that are still running an old image and have not updated since  May 28th, you can avoid having to reinstall by installing the three packages listed above.  You can also do this from a chrooted environment if you need to save a locked system.

Just doing my part to keep things updated...
