Native 9.0 installs will probably go into service next week after the
first 9.0 patch release. As is, the versions of Xconfigurator and
mouseconfig which are included in 9.0 are just plain broken and can not
be done as part of the install.
I have an install volume in /afs/dev/user/amb/rhlinux which will
successfully install both 8.4 and 9.0, modulo the bug above for 9.0.
After the next patch release and some final checks, I'll poke someone
with bits to generate and release a new install volume and then update
the control-current symlink, which will cause future installs to be 9.0,
as well as causing machines with no cluster information to update to 9.0.
(Which will have other ramifications, so maybe we want to talk about it
next week...)
(Since the installer volume does both 8.4 and 9.0, it could go into place
now, but since I'm going to be very far away this weekend, may as well wait.)
