Read http://www.crashing.org/pressrel.txt, and since this thing comes with surprisingly much documentation, also ftp://silver.teardrop.org/pub/linux/README.orig (well, I wanted to give you the ftp.linuxppc.org file name, it's something like pub/linuxppc/linuxppc-dev-rel/README, but I can't get on this server right now; the other linuxppc.org mirrors are probably filling their linuxppc-dev-rel trees.) As far as I can tell, this is the basis for LinuxPPC R5 (no netscape yet) and probably for yellowdog champion-server 1.1 and other distributions. Its rpms are based on RedHat 6.0 and basically the same that you find in the rawhide directories at mirror.linuxppc.org and linuxppc.slackers.cx, and also in the pre-R5 directories. It comes with plenty of installer stuff for different machines, mklinux and linuxppc, scripts for generating 2 CDs, the RedHat handbooks for installing and getting started, plus a ppc addendum for these handbooks (all handbooks in html format and also as rpms). This addendum is in some parts not quite finished. It is online on ftp://silver.teardrop.org/pub/linux/doc/ppc/booklet/index.htm. I also thought that there was a linuxppc-announce list for such things :-) -- Martin [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
