ANNOUNCING TAMU-1.0D Linux Release
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION:
|
|
|
|
TAMU-1.0D is the latest release in the TAMU linux series. Like the
|
|
previous release, this one includes both *full* source and binary
|
|
sets. The source set is an integrated BSD style source tree with the
|
|
*entire* binary set created from a single top level make in this tree.
|
|
make. This ensures that all programs are compiled and linked with the
|
|
same current tools and libraries, and guarantees availability of
|
|
working source for every program in the binary set.
|
|
In addition, the boot diskette fully automates the installation
|
|
process, including partitioning, lilo bootstrapping, and network
|
|
configuration. Installation requires no rebooting, and requires the
|
|
user to know only the host's name and IP address. At every step of
|
|
installation, the program provides intelligent defaults, making it
|
|
a snap for novices, while allowing experts full flexibility in setting
|
|
installation parameters.
|
|
This release has had several months of beta testing (.99p15.., 1.0,
|
|
1.0A), fixing hundreds of bugs that were in prior TAMU releases, and
|
|
adding significant new features.
|
|
The end of this announcement gives a detailed list of the contents
|
|
of this release. Highlights include: linux-1.0, libc-4.5.21, XFree86-2.1,
|
|
chimera-1.50 (a mosaic clone that does not need motif), fvwm-1.22f,
|
|
xfm-1.3 (now with shaped pixmaps), ghostscript-2.6.1, and tcl/tk with
|
|
xf (an automated gui application builder).
|
|
|
|
AVAILABILITY:
|
|
|
|
The binary and source sets are available in both 3.5 and 5.25"
|
|
labeled diskette images. The sets are also available as individual tar
|
|
files or packages. All files are at:
|
|
net.tamu.edu (128.194.177.1), in the directory
|
|
pub/linux/TAMU-1.0D
|
|
|
|
REQUIREMENTS:
|
|
|
|
The binary set includes 1 boot, and 21 bin diskette images, and the
|
|
source set includes 37 diskette images (22 and 44 respectively for 5.25
|
|
inch diskettes). When installed, the binary set needs about 90MB of
|
|
disk space (this includes swap and filesystem overhead). The sources
|
|
take an additional 200MB, and need around another 50MB temporarily
|
|
during compilation. Individual packages within the sources can be
|
|
compiled independently, so you don't have to retrieve all 200MB to
|
|
modify one program. The source packages have, however, been configured
|
|
to compile under the TAMU-1.0D binary set, so there are no guarantees
|
|
they will compile on other systems.
|
|
|
|
PHILOSOPHY:
|
|
|
|
The source release is based on an integrated set of source packages.
|
|
This combines the advantages of a BSD style fully integrated release
|
|
(single top level make ...), with the flexibility of separate source
|
|
packages (it's easy to drop in new versions as they appear).
|
|
This release is FSSTND compliant, with only a few minor exceptions.
