Is there a list anywhere of which RPMs one should download to bring Linux
1999 (June release) up to the Q3 release?

TIA,

Dan

OK, I bought Linux1999 (and three versions before it)...  I'm
tired of shelling out the money when the data is out there...
So, is there an easy way to grab the files that make it onto
the Linux1999 Q3 CD?  I've got a mirror of all the linuxppc-1999
at work, but my Mac is far from there...  I'd love to burn my
own CD-R of Linux1999 Q3

Q3 isn't that big of a release. New things it includes, that you may want
to get are:

- bochs: x86 emulator for LinuxPPC
- xli.pl 2.6: Ship an X Installer that Might Actually Work.
- autostart virus free copy: Ship an version of LinuxPPC 1999 that lacks
the autostart virus (that doesn't work on the CD but sets off virus
detectors.)
- sane/xsane: Scanner Software for populuar scanners on Linux PowerPC.
- Updated GNOME RPMS: Ship GNOME packages that don't truely bite or crash
every five minutes.
- vger kernel 2.2.11: Supports some newer hardware better, especially USB.

There is nothing here that won't take more then an hour on an modem
connection -- so it's not worthwhile to buy the CD as an upgrade.

This CD was released mainly to fix small little bugs, so that new
customers would have a better install experience mainly, and a newer
version of GNOME. It's not meant for you and I to go buy it -- we already
have Yellow Dog Linux Champion Server 1.1 or LinuxPPC R5 installed.
