It's a script that installs a very basic set of packages, but should get the machine up and running. Due to the missing i386 kernel, it is currently installing the kernel-BOOT package. Once the install completes, you can upgrade to the new i386 kernel package. (with a little work, you can do this during the install as well.) http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rule/slinky/slinky-v0.3.1/ The script installs base packages by default, and allows you to choose several other package groups. Currently, only the network subgroup has been tested. The others, due to changes in the 8.0 release, are likely to have unsatisfied dependencies. (which can be resolved manually.) All the package groups should be tested and updated over the next few days. There is a mailing list for the project at: rule-list@nongnu.org If you decide to go this route, we would appreciate install reports and feedback. Hope that helps, - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9sr6qn/07WoAb/SsRArhJAJ9ZXronDCxzsKfm6h8RI4loFh0fQQCcCy1c wflNMqMDLZegYjLpUJ1tErg= =yZu7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
