Hi All,
FTP site reorganisation
-----------------------
For all of those of you who are trying to install the stuff from the FTP
site, I've just finished re-organising the site.
The location of a lot of directories and files has changed, hopefully for
the better.
Various packages in the old libc4 distribution have been updated, eg,
patch 2.5, and a few others. Also included this time are the kernel,
kernel-headers and kernel-source packages.
As a bonus, the second stage installer has been re-written. This
installer is only intended as a preliminary release, and has the
following "features":
1. direct FTP install is currently broken.
2. when installing from hard drive, the packages can now reside in
multiple directories on an ADFS disk.
3. root password dialogue boxes are currently missing. On a newly
installed system, the root password will be blank.
4. apparantly, fdisk fails for disks > 8GB, and therefore the
installer may not work correctly. (the installer uses fdisk).
Web site update
---------------
The web pages have also been updated to use the new FTP site structure,
and an installation guide for Acorn machines has been added. The guide
is not yet complete, but has all the pictures there! Please note
that although it infers that the method can be used with the A5000,
it has not been tested. Certainly, the A5000 will not like the RiscPC
modules or kernel!
Problems
--------
Could people let me know ASAP if:
1. there are any broken links from the web site to the ftp site
(I am aware that some links in the web site are broken at the moment;
I am not concerned about these at the present time).
2. the installer fails to perform for you.
