Hello,
We perform system administration for a lab with many Linux-Athena
workstations for its students. We recently ordered some new machines
and our Athena install was foiled because of unsupported hardware (new
SATA controllers, network card chipset, etc). The Athena install CD is
based off of RHEL3 and the 2.4 Kernel and is quite old. What is the
timeline for upgrading the installer in the bootkit locker to RHEL4 and
the 2.6 kernel? Alternatively, is there another way we can install
Athena? IS&T deploys new Athena cluster machines often- there must be
an updated installer available somewhere.
Many thanks for your help,
ACDL admins
