11-16-99 New Features 1. Workgroups are back The defaults are the "default". Each workgroup coordinator needs to determine what they want. Please work on this soon so that testing can happen soon. I will put in what you had on 5.2.1 if I do not hear from you for the next release which should be on Friday Nov 19. 2. There is no UPS/UPD yet. 3. Upgrade will only upgrade packages already installed plus the any new packages that are in /RedHat/base/comps/"Base". I will be adding "upgrade to workgroup" in a later release. RedHat changed how upgrade/install is selected. I will have to rewrite it for our needs. 4. Kickstart %post will be overwritten. I will fix this soon. 5. Only the "text" install mode is supported with the Fermi changes. I need to get it working and will make it work with the GUI if time permits. The /images/bootnet.img.fermi and /images/boot.img.fermi have been modified so that the "text" install is the default. The "linux" choice will give the GUI install but it does NOT contain the fermi code. There have been no other changes to the floppy. So if you want to use your old version that will work as long as you do a "text" install. 6. RedHat released a update.img which was to be used with boot.img(cdrom install). I have incorporated this into the install code already. Thus you do not need to use this update.img. For this reason I have NOT included it in the release. 7. Patches are as of today - Nov 17,1999 8. Ghostscript is the updated version provided by Chris Green. 9. make is a upraded version provided by Jim Amundson. Documentation 1. Please see Fermi.CHANGELOG at ftp://linux/linux/6Xtest/i386/ for lots more details. The above is a feature summary only. Go forth and test. Thanks -Connie Sieh
