We never completed the PAM work for release. Then again, I expected
this release to happen back in September...
As far as I'm concerned, the release is ready to go into production.
I've tested PCMCIA installs (as best as I can without a real machine
to test it on) and I beleive that the current install media works
right.
Can someone could actually test the current install media?
/mit/linux/devel/redhat/install/bootdisks/images/{boot,supp}.img
If this works then I say "push out the release".
