RedHat 7.0 ?

RedHat 7.0 ?

[Carsten Langgaard]

Has anyone put together an easy-to-install tar file, similar to the old
hard-hat 5.1 tarfile, where you could install everything though an
install program running on a nfs server ?
I really like the old hard-hat approach, it was easy to install and
everything seems to work, but it would be nice to have a newer release.
The old hard-hat install program doesn't work with the new 2.4.0 kernel.

There is a big endian glibc 2.2 debian base - Look at
ftp.uni-mainz.de/pub/debian-local/mips. I hope to produce something similar
for mipsel with the next days.

     Why is it called "common sense" when nobody seems to have any?

At this time we don't have an easy installer for it.  I intend to strip
down an RH 7.0 installation which I'm running on an Origin here and put
it up for ftp somewhen soon.

Are we talking a bootable CD?  If so, I'd *kill* for it!
