Thread: LinuxPPC 2000 CDs

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Anyone have the LinuxPPC 2000 CDs ?

Any trouble mounting them ?

Can access them from Amiga but can't mount them under Linux.

I think I read somewhere that they contain a peculiar file system to make it 
boot on all Macs.

You could ask on linuxppc-{dev,user} for details.

Oh goodie.

I will.

Thanks, Ken. 

hi,

they're probably HFS formatted - Amiga CD fielsystems can handle this, but
the kernel will have to have that support compiled in,

hi,

Anyone yet looked at this prerelease code from Linus? :-)

(he's quoted as wondering whether anyone will notice this
un-announced release  ;-) )

ftp.kernel.org/pub/kernel/v2.4

It's old and obsolete ;-)

Check out the two ac-22 variants :-)

hi,

When at the LinuxExpo2000 in London last month, everyone was excited about
the journalling filesystems for Linux. Now, i knew SGI have been working
to opensource and release their filesystem...but its not out yet, is it?
Theres apparently one that is now out (and about) and everyone was saying
its great, stable and bugfree (now, THAT, i doubt ;-) ) but I cant recall
its name (it had a stange name, nothing like the <blahblah>fs that i would
have expected...can anyone shed info on this please?

hmmm, to have a Linux box you can just switch off  :-)

ah! yes, thats the one, everyone was just calling it 'Reiser' though

> What about your uptime?

ha! yes, mine is less than a day all the time because of all the kernel
builds and tests - (and that i also use AmigaOS still extensively)

Nope.  I downloaded it though a couple weeks ago.

I've tried a few of the 2.3.xx, 2.3.99 kernels on my
PC, and they have not worked well for me.  They all
have some problem or another for the configuration I
need.

I'll probably try the 2.4.0 test1 at some point when my
curiousity gets the best of me.

Oh I sure folks noticed though I just read an article in
some computer magazine that 2.4 kernels were way behind
schedule, and Linus was quoted as saying he didn't care.

BTW it's ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/

there are newer ones in Alan's directory (under people)

...of course! I think the release has now slipped to september.

;-) i know

hi,

can anyone tell me the relationship between the linux-apus FTP site
and the work that can be downloaded from the linux-apus Web site?

I ask because the FTP area on sourceforge

linux-apus.sourceforge.net/pub/linux-apus

holds only old boothacks, and I'm not happy about the age of the v2.2.x
and v2.3.x directories either.

any enlightenment please?

There's no relationship.

The stuff on the Project Page is located on download.sourceforge.net. Stuff
can be uploaded there via incoming.

If you have time Alan, please upload everything from the FTP area there (old
versions for the modules can be uploaded, just give the correct date) and move
it to obsolete.

ah...found them.

hmmm, this doesnt give much scope - i like all the file areas that are in 
the FTP directories... it also allows people to just mirror the stuff to
their harddrive. with the current situation you have to CVS to get the 
kernel source and then use web browser (or FTP) to get the boothack and
kernel image. 

what would people think if I cleaned up the FTP area (and also moved some
older modules to the linux-apus modules area) and got the latest 2.2.x and
2.3.x via CVS and placed those into FTP (so less experienced people can
just keep using FTP to get latest LinuxAPUS source code kernel?)

just an idea......

But with CVS, one can always be up to date with development without needing
much bandwidth.

For the releases, we should just put the diffs to the native kernel there as
well, I really don't see a point in putting the whole tree anywhere.

Please do, and please move stuff to be removed to obsolete instead of removing
it right away. My plan is to remove things from obsolete if we ever run out of
space.

I don't like that. From The Project Page: "Projects may choose to have files
other than their main releases available via anonymous FTP."

I think in the long run, the FTP area should hold nothing more than contrib,
misc etc.
