What I hope to be the last of this round of RedHat installer
modifications:
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/RH7.0-XFS-test3.iso
Several minor things have been fixed.
The only fix to XFS the one involving the permission modifications
to device files not "sticking"
Devfs has been turned on in the kernel, and is now used by default.
Eric completely reworked the anaconda modifications to support kickstart
installs; not extensively tested.
NOTE NOTE NOTE
The RedHat discs that are now required for install are the
labeled "respin"
fc9c2c23b02d2a35b75845530db81743 7.0-i386-respin-disc1.iso
0e77615754f281363c231b2d4b1806bb 7.0-i386-respin-disc2.iso
It is likely the more prevalent images will be the respin
images and not the original images, therefore the rpm list
has been generated against the rpm's contained in the respin CD.
DO NOT USE the older iso's for installs!
The install process will get stuck in a loop requesting
rpm's that do not exist on the older CD's.
A CD with all of RedHat's current 7.0 updates and the SGI
kernels was put together but was dropped, due to the fact
the number of CD swaps number about a dozen just for the base
install. Also it is not our intent to duplicate RedHat efforts.
RedHat already provides CD images that will do updates quite
painlessly.
What I do plan on providing is a script that will take
our CD the RedHat disc1/disc2 and Update CD combine them
together into a single directory that can be used for NFS installs.
