1. We should end the beta test period. Objections?
2. RedHat is getting popular. There are several stores near campus
selling it, including the Coop. Lots of people are going to be
installing from RedHat CD-ROMs. We should have a shell script that
adds Athena stuff to an installed RedHat 5.2 system. (Instead of just
doing "rpm -i athena-*", it could ask questions about what you want to
install, if you want to replace RedHat Emacs and/or TeX with Athena
stuff, if you want to use some /srvd packages, if you want to erase
RedHat's Netscape, if you want to upgrade non-Athena packages, etc...)
Maybe I'll make such a script.
Have a nice day,
Sal.
