RedHat 8.0 XFS DVD v0.0.7

[Stefan Smietanowski <stesmi@stesmi.com>]

I am proud to announce the first public release of the RedHat 8.0 XFS 
DVD v0.0.7!

The image is available from 
http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~ragnarkj/download/RH-XFS-DVD/
or should be in a few hours anyway.

What's on this DVD:

* RedHat 8.0 "Psyche" CDs 1-5, including the SRPMS.
* All updates that were released up to and including 2002-12-19
   at 22:00 GMT. They are installed automatically when the system
   is installed. The DVD does not contain the old RPMS.
* The installer from the XFS 1.2pre1 release from SGI.
* All RPMS from the XFS 1.2pre4 release from SGI.

The contrib directory on the DVD contains extra files that
are not installed by default. Currently contains an alternate
2.4.19-based kernel released by SGI.

Known Bugs:

- Doesn't work.
+ Contains a bugfix but needs to be tested by more people.
* Fixed
? Unknown if bug still exists. Usually a new bug found in an older
   version.

- You can only select English languages to install. Same bug exists
   in the original XFS installer CD.

- GRUB won't install properly at all for some reason. Exists in
   XFS installer CD.

+ When you verify the MD5 sum using the installer it afterwards
   asks you to insert the SGI CD and does not accept this DVD.

? A system installed with 0.0.2 had problems in konsole.
   When writing "foo" it came out "f   o   o". xterm worked fine.
   Haven't tried a later release in konsole so I don't know if it's
   still there. Might also be the kde update.

Version history:

0.0.1 2002-12-xx Initial version. Not released. Worked fine.
                  I could even verify the DVD with the MD5 function
                  of the installer. Had the bug that made it
                  ask for the XFS CD after verifying MD5.
0.0.2 2002-12-xx Updated version. Contained a few extra RPMS in
                  the contrib directory. Minor tweaks. Not released.
                  Had a fix for the problem above.
0.0.3 2002-12-xx Same as 0.0.2 but this time I didn't forget to
                  implant the MD5 sum into the image (stupid me).
                  Not released.
0.0.4 2002-12-12 Added latest updates. Verified it works from a DVD-RW.
                  Not released.
0.0.5 2002-12-13 Added latest updates: httpd and mod_ssl. Finished my
                  script that I use to build the DVD with. Not released.
0.0.6 2002-12-18 The ethernet and pcmcia on the laptop died and I had
                  the whole build system on there. Took some time to
                  get the relevant info off of it and start building
                  again. SGI also released 1.2pre4 of the kernel so
                  I updated all files to that. Added updated net-snmp.
                  Not released.
0.0.7 2002-12-20 Found out that the kernel from 1.2pre4 is wrong so I
                  waited for the respin to come out and released it
                  when it had. No other changes.

Please download and test and read the README-XFS-DVD. Also please mail 
me if it works or not or any issues you have with it!

This release is not endorsed nor supported by either RedHat or SGI.
If it doesn't work, don't bug them about it.
