I remember the first few times using SLiM on a slightly older computer.

So the second patch adds visual feedback similar to what you get when typing "halt" at the prompt. > >One thing that's missing from the .patch files: they don't say >authorship or origin. Could you add that? They're my own patches :). But sure, the others SLiM patches have authors listed too. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
