[osol-discuss] SXDE based on b77?

2007-12-12 Thread Mark Drummond
I just downloaded the DVD for SXCR build 77. It appears to include SXDE as
well. Is this SXDE 9/07?

It's a bit confusing because, from the SXDE web pages, I can download an
SXDE 9/07 DVD, OR I can download an SXCR build 70b DVD. Only, they are the
same DVD. Different download web pages in SDLC, but the download in both
cases consists of 3 files which are named the same and are the same sizes.

Now, more confusion. With the build 77 DVD I just downloaded, when I select
SXDE from the grub boot menu, it boots a build 77 kernel. Is this going to
install a build 77 based SXDE? Or is it using the the build 77 kernel during
the install but I will actually end up with a build 70b based SXDE 9/07?

Just trying to sort out the spaghetti.

Thanks,
Mark

All SXCE releases contain the SXDE installer (and I believe the extra tools),
they just haven't gone through the same extended test cycles  respins with
fixes that SXDE releases do.   If you choose the SXDE installer, you'll get
build 77 installed SXDE-style, but with all the newer bits not in the SXDE 9/07
release (which was build 70b).
