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".
Sounds like a good idea. Especially since Redhat 4.9.1 is currently in
beta testing (probably for a RedHat 5.0 release); so after we get this
one out, there's a newer, improved distribution to look at.
By the way, I've looked at the install procedure for Redhat 4.9, and
it's definitely nicer than previous install procedures. Definitely
getting smoother and more user-friendly.
