The SIPB installer for I/S Athena-Linux is at last ready for production
use. The changes since the beta version came out have all been to the
second stage installer, so the floppy and install instructions remain
as they have been since winter.
Install instructions, which include instructions for creating a boot
floppy are still at:
/mit/sipb/doc/rh-net-install.ps
We encourage you to print out a copy of this, when you create an install
floppy.
For general help regarding linux and the installer, you can write to
linux-help@mit.edu. This is a public list whose members are volunteers
who often have helpful suggestions.
There is unfortunately still a known problem with some revisions of the
3com 3c905b and 3c905c ethernet cards; they fail to auto-detect correctly
with the standard floppy, and the installer fails to find the network.
We'll post here when that gets fixed.
