I know its a bit rough and not in sync with upstream yet. But I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

Finally managed to get decent 1TB NVMe instead of my ancient 64 GB SATA SSD and therefor I tried my favorite distro, which in fact I use on all my other (x86, x64 and ARM) computers. Everything was smooth, no surprise during the install, Riscy Slackware boots on my 8C Blackbird like a marvel ...
... but then one surprise emerged: It seems that the content of http://mirror.riscyslack.org/RiscySlack/riscyslack64-current/slackware64/ is not the same what is on the current install ISO. To be precise some quite important libraries are missing on the ISO, like libXaw or libXMu, so I couldn't even start xterm. No big deal - downloading txz packages from mirror and installing them manually fixed this. But now I have to find out what else didn't install.
Is there any reason for this?
(Anyway: thanks for bringing my native distro to my native platform!)

I'm not sure why they are missing, the .iso is generated each morning automatically form the contents of the mirror.
I'll see if I can find out why they weren't there.
Thanks for letting me know.

The iso was from January 4th, I still have it somewhere on my drive if needed for examination.

It looks like when I updated the mirror structure a couple months ago to add the extras mirror I forgot to update my makeiso script for the new folder name.
So it was building the .iso file off an old copy of the current folder that was missing the libXaw and libXmu packages.
Its been corrected and should properly match the riscyslack64-current folder.
Thank you again for letting me know.
