Hi, I've updated the ARM Linux installer for Acorn machines, date code 1999.11.07. There are updated installation instructions on the web site. The following changes have been made: * FTP mode added. * Most dependency problems resolved (updated RPM library). * Added "Fatal Error" when stuff goes majorly wrong. * Unimplemented bits disabled. (bootp net config, check for bad blocks, package selection) Todo: * Allow installer to set root password. * Check for bad blocks during ext2fs formatting. * Network BOOTP configuration (if there is demand). * Individual package selection (if there is demand). * Write installation instructions for FTP mode. Files changed: * arch/rpc/disks/root * arch/rpc/disks/supplemental * arch/rpc/install/RedHat/base/comps * arch/rpc/install/RedHat/base/hdlist * arch/rpc/install/RedHat/instimage/usr/bin/runinstall2 * arch/rpc/install/RedHat/instimage/usr/bin/install.cpio Files removed: * arch/rpc/install/RedHat/base/fsstnd.cgz * arch/rpc/install/RedHat/base/uglist I specifically want to hear about any successes/failures from the use of this release. If you do encounter any problems, please let me know ASAP. _____ |_____| ------------------------------------------------- ---+---+- | | Russell King [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- --- | | | | http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/armlinux.html / / | | +-+-+ --- -+- / | THE developer of ARM Linux |+| /|\ / | | | --- | +-+-+ ------------------------------------------------- /\\\ | unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++ Please use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for ++ ++ kernel-related discussions. ++
