Scientific Linux Fermi 305 for i386 August 29, 2005 respin on Sept 12, 2005 latest errata kernel February 14, 2006 The only change was to update the installer and the installed kernel to 2.4.21-37.0.1 which is the latest errata kernel. Please see the releasenotes for the "original" image. This is just really new install images. You will need to use the install images at ftp://linux.fnal.gov/linux/lts305/i386/images/Fermi-2.4.21-3701/ -Connie Sieh _____________________________________________________________________________ INSTALLATION INFO _____________________________________________________________________________ Installation Locations Via NFS linux.fnal.gov:/export/linux/lts305/i386/ with floppy The floppy install situation is the same as Fermi Linux 9.0.1 . There was not enough space on 1 floppy so the vendor redesigned the install to have a "generic" boot floppy. With all of the device drivers on driver floppies. There is a net , pcmcia, and a block driver floppy. With a Fermi Linux install you will need the "generic" bootdisk.img floppy. And either the "net" drvnet.img or the "pcmcia" pcmcia.img floppy for your network drivers. I have modified the boot.img install floppy image to automatically put in the nfs server and nfs install directory. To override this you can select the original redhat choice with linux at the install floppy prompt. You will have to make your own floppies from ftp://linux.fnal.gov/linux/lts305/i386/images/Fermi-2.4.21-3701/bootdisk.img and one of these ftp://linux.fnal.gov/linux/lts305/i386/images/Fermi-2.4.21-3701/drvnet.img ftp://linux.fnal.gov/linux/lts305/i386/images/Fermi-2.4.21-3701/pcmcia.img To make the install floppies. Put a scratch floppy in "/dev/fd0" for each image. dd if=bootdisk.img of=/dev/fd0 dd if=drvnet.img of=/dev/fd0 If you are making the drvnet with cdrom There is also a boot.iso which is small iso image which includes all the drivers on the driver floppies and the generic boot info. This can be used instead of the above floppies. After download you can use cdrecord to create a cdr with this image on it. ftp://linux.fnal.gov/linux/lts305/i386/images/Fermi-2.4.21-3701/boot.iso
