The oldest ones in April were installing random kernel, yes (whichever came first, I think), but from then it was fixed (I hope, at least it worked on all my sparc64 and sparc32 installs). It is decided in install2, which downloads hdlist that contains version numbers and architecture of each package. Install then selects the most suitable one. > > > Steve > dunham@cps.msu.edu > Cheers, Jakub ___________________________________________________________________ Jakub Jelinek | jj@sunsite.mff.cuni.cz | http://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz Administrator of SunSITE Czech Republic, MFF, Charles University ___________________________________________________________________ Ultralinux - first 64bit OS to take full power of the UltraSparc Linux version 2.1.103 on a sparc64 machine (498.80 BogoMips). ___________________________________________________________________
