Updated ISOs should now be posted.
With RC1, the 7rolling tree is linked into place. The content should be
available under http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7.0/

Hi Pat
Thanks for the hard work. You guys have been busy!!!
It appears that the rsync server does not have all the changes yet in 7rolling.
In particulatr:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6702497792 Sep 17 03:30
SL-7-x86_64-Everything-Dual-Layer-DVD.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 413138944 Sep 17 03:30 SL-7-x86_64-netinst.iso
are still the old isos
At what point is 7rolling moved to 7x or 7 ? I seem to remeber an earlier email
stating this would be at RC time.

Subject: Posted for testing: Scientific Linux 7.0 x86_64 RELEASE CANDIDATE 1
Scientific Linux 7.0 x86_64 RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 - Sep 26, 2014
== Information ==
Fermilab's intention is to continue the development and support of
Scientific Linux and refine its focus as an operating system for
scientific computing. Today we are announcing a release candidate of
Scientific Linux 7. We continue to develop a stable process for
generating and distributing Scientific Linux, with the intent that
Scientific Linux remains the same high quality operating system the
community has come to expect.
THIS IS NOT A PRODUCTION RELEASE OF SCIENTIFIC LINUX 7.0
NOTE: Please review the SL Release Notes along with
The Upstream Vendor's Release Notes:
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7.0/x86_64/release-notes/
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/index.html
There is a great deal of information within those documents not listed here.

== Media ==
You can find the release media at:
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7.0/x86_64/iso/
NOTE: The 'everything' dvd image requires a Dual-Layer (DL) compatible
drive for both burning and booting off of.
Alternatively the livecd-iso-to-disk utility is able to convert
this to USB successfully. A USB device of sufficient size is
required.
Alternatively you can utilize the dd command to write the
raw image to a USB device.

== UEFI Secure Boot ==
The status of UEFI Secure Boot for Scientific Linux is noted in detail at:
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7.0/x86_64/release-notes/#_about_uefi_secure_boot
Booting SL7 with Secure Boot enabled works but requires a manual step.
This is because the "shim" has not been signed by the UEFI CA.
Instructions are included within the SL7 Release Notes.
NOTE: The kernels in sl7-security have not yet been built with
the SL7 Secure Boot Certificate and may not function
in secure boot environments.
