We have posted the i386.rpm, src.rpm, and patches on our WWW site at
http://www.affinity-systems.ab.ca/software/ for several packages needed to
upgrade a stock Red Hat 5.2 system to Linux 2.2 series of kernels. These
should work on Red Hat 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2 but were compiled under Red Hat 5.2
and kernel 2.2.1.

Packages include are:

ipchains-rhcn-1.3.8-2.i386.rpm
modutils-rhcn-2.1.121-1.i386.rpm
net-tools-rhcn-1.50-1.i386.rpm
procinfo-rhcn-16-1.i386.rpm
util-linux-rhcn-2.9h-1.i386.rpm

Regards,
Jim

Unfortunately, at 3:45pm Pacific Daylight Savings... The link text was there,
but it wasn't actually a hyperlink. Looks like either the announcement was a
bit ahead of reality, or they found something wrong and pulled it.

the packages listed were there this morning. I downloaded all of them.
The links are *still* there. (and working) I just checked.
the actual kernel, no. had to get that from linuxhq.
(all of which worked, as my linux gateway is now happily running
2.2.1 and finally fwding packets for battlenet)

On Thu, 04 Feb 1999 01:43:56 GMT, Mark did say with great verbosity:
:the packages listed were there this morning. I downloaded all of them.
:The links are *still* there. (and working) I just checked.
:the actual kernel, no. had to get that from linuxhq.
:(all of which worked, as my linux gateway is now happily running

Hi,
Sorry, but we aren't about to produce a kernel RPM for several reasons,
primarily we feel a generic "Everything you'll ever need" type of kernel
binary distribution aproach is not as stable as building for a specific
machine or small group of specific machines.

But, there should be a kernel SRPM that is available from Red Hat's Rawhide
distribution.

I'm not sure why the text would not have been linked as the announcement
went out after the site was up.

Browser features perhaps?

Regards,
Jim
