Eric and lists,

I've just released an early alpha of OpenLinux ia64. Here is the readme
from the ftp site:

ftp://ftp.caldera.com/pub/ia64/20000804/20000804ia64col.txt

This is an early access alpha release of Caldera OpenLinux for ia64

There are a number of issues with this release:

o There is no toolchain included. This will be included in the next
release

o PAM seems non-functional. This also will be fixed in the next release

o The installation uses a shell script. Lisa (text menus) and Lizard
  (the Caldera graphical installer) should be included in a furture
  release. This is not likely to happen in the next release.

o There is no web page yet for information and updates

o There us no mailing list for support yet.

o X is not functioning. This is likely to be included in the next
  release, but a working toolchain is higher on the priority list.

o This has only been tested on Intel SDV systems. If you are a hardware
  vendor, you can send me free hardware anytime. ;-)

Thanx for DLing and testing this early alpha! Please contact me directly
for any support issues. Watch this text file for updated info.
