This includes the 845G, 855G, and 865G chipsets, as well as 915G, 915GM, and 945G chipsets. This modification is necessary to allow the display of certain graphics resolutions for an Xorg or XFree86 graphics server. 915resolution's modifications of the BIOS are transient. There is no risk of permanent modification of the BIOS. This also means that 915resolution must be run every time the computer boots inorder for it's changes to take effect. 915resolution is derived from the tool 855resolution. However, the i code differs substantially. 915resolution's code base is much simpler.i 915resolution also allows the modification of bits per pixel. **alpine Alpine is a tool for reading, sending, and managing electronic messages. Alpine is the successor to Pine and was developed by Computing & Communications at the University of Washington. ** Our version of alpine 2.00 has the following changes compared to ** our 1.0 version ** An /etc/alpine/pine.conf.sample file is installed, no longer overwriting ** an existing pine.conf Therefore an existing pine.conf in /etc/alpine ** will be left untouched even after the upgrade. For an installation from ** scratch it is advantageous to copy the sample conf file to pine.conf, ** but alpine works also without it. ** Users are now able to use a .alpine.passfile ** ** alpine-2.00-1.el5.i386.rpm **AUFS ** ** Aufs is a stackable unification filesystem such as Unionfs, ** which unifies several directories and provides a merged single ** directory.

Only when you're accessing a share is a connection made to the remote computer. This also allows users to mount smb shares using kerberos. fuse-sshfs: A FUSE-filesystem client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol. On the client side mounting the filesystem is as easy as logging into the server with ssh.

On adapter initialization, and at varying times during the uptime of the adapter, the microcode is loaded into the RAM on the network adapter. The microcode provides the low level MAC features including radio control and high precision timing events (backoff, transmit, etc.) while also providing varying levels of packet filtering which can be used to keep the host from having to handle packets that are not of interest given the current operating mode of the device. These packages contains all releases of the firmware up to the version stated, as well as their respective README documents. ipw2100-firmware-1.3-5.noarch.rpm ipw2200-firmware-3.0-1.noarch.rpm ** iwlwifi-3945-ucode-15.28.2.8-1.el5.noarch.rpm ** iwlwifi-4965-ucode-228.57.2.23-7.el5.noarch.rpm ** iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11-1.el5.noarch.rpm ipw3945d is needed to control the ipw3945 wireless card ipw3945d is now turned on by default. The startup script looks for the ipw3945 hardware, and if it finds it it starts up the ipw3945 deamon. kernel-module-ipw3945 is needed because this driver is not in the standard kernel. This driver is known to work on the Dell 820 and Dell 620.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a simple way to fix these mistakes automatically and tidy up sloppy editing into nicely layed out markup? Well now there is! Dave Raggett's HTML TIDY is a free utility for doing just that. It also works great on the atrociously hard to read markup generated by specialized HTML editors and conversion tools, and can help you identify where you need to pay further attention on making your pages more accessible to people with disabilities. tidy-0.99.0-12.20070228.sl5.i386.rpm libtidy-0.99.0-12.20070228.sl5.i386.rpm libtidy-devel-0.99.0-12.20070228.sl5.i386.rpm XFS XFS is a highly scalable, high-performance journaling filesystem that provides rapid recovery from system crashes. * xfs-filesystem-0.4-2.sl5.i686.rpm xfsdump-2.2.46-1.sl5.i386.rpm xfsprogs-2.9.4-1.sl5.i386.rpm xfsprogs-devel-2.9.4-1.sl5.i386.rpm dmapi-2.2.8-1.sl5.i386.rpm dmapi-devel-2.2.8-1.sl5.i386.rpm ** kernel-module-xfs-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5-0.4-2.sl5.i686.rpm ** kernel-module-xfs-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5PAE-0.4-2.sl5.i686.rpm ** kernel-module-xfs-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5xen-0.4-2.sl5.i686.rpm Yumex Yumex is a graphical user interface for yum. yumex-2.0.3-1.0.el5.noarch.rpm yum-utils yum-utils is a collection of utilities and examples for the yum package manager.

In Update 2 The Upstream Vendor added more packages to their comps.xml comps-sl.xml has been changed to incorporate most of TUV changes. Since we have merged their various comps.xml files, our comps.xml will never really look like theirs. But this change brings ours more in line with their Update 2 versions. There are minimal changes compared to the "vendor" release. We have changed the "rpms" that are required to be changed. These changes are defined by the "vendor". redhat-artwork-5.0.9-1.SL.2.i386.rpm redhat-logos-4.9.16-1.SL.6.noarch.rpm * sl-release-5.3-0.1.rolling.i386.rpm * sl-release-notes-5.3-0.1.rolling.noarch.rpm sl-release changes the default mozilla and firefox bookmarks. sl-release changes the default rhn configuration to use yum and points this configuration to ftp.scientificlinux.org sl-release removed the firstboot additional cd's question redhat-logos was changed to add the "photographs" shown during the install These rpm's are not required to be changed by the vendor, but we felt they needed to be changed gdm-2.16.0-46.sl5.i386.rpm Changed the default theme from RHEL to EaseOfBlue pirut-1.3.28-13.sl.noarch.rpm Removed "Requires: rhn-setup-gnome" rhgb-0.16.4-8.sl.1.i386.rpm Changed the colors. **python-virtinst virtinst is a module to help in starting installations inside of virtual machines.

Because of this updates dealing with kernel-module rpm's (such as afs) now work yum-conf priorities have been set on the repositories. But you have to have yum-priorities installed for them to take effect. metadata_expire variable was set to 20 hours to allow for normal users to be able to use yum for those commands they can run yum-conf has the following repositories in it sl-base (enabled) sl-security (enabled) sl-testing (not enabled) sl-fastbugs (not enabled) sl-bugfix-51 (not enabled) atrpms (not enabled) dag (not enabled) flash (not enabled) Not all repositories are enabled by default. To enable them for one time use, use the --enablerepo command, such as yum --enablerepo=atrpms list mplayer yum --enablerepo=dag install xine yum --enablerepo=adobe install flash-player If you want the repositories to be enabled all the time then you need to edit the config files and change enabled=0 to enabled=1. The config files are in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory and are named like /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo NOTE1: Just because a yum repository exists does NOT mean it is compatible with all other yum repositories. We have included the repositories we did because they usually work well together. But if there is a problem with one of the packages in a repository, please contact that repository maintainer. yum-autoupdate yum-autoupdate has the check for a running yum in it, so that if yum has been running for a long time (close to 24 hours), when the yum.cron starts up, it will kill the old yum. This was changed because we had reports that yum was hanging and we didn't want this to interfere with updates. yum-autoupdate checks to see how long the machine is been up If it is up less than 20 hours, it doesn't wait, but does the update. If it is longer than 20 hours, it waits a random time, up to 3 hours. This uptime check was done to help laptops and other machines that might not be on long enough to wait for the random time. The random time was put it in so that servers arn't overwhelmed. yum-conf-5x was created for those users who want to be at the latest stable release. It is always pointing at the 5x area. This means that when we make new versions you will automatically be upgraded to them. yum-conf-epel has been added so that people could use the epel yum repository.

Each cd set has a group of directories which contain the actual rpms. On the Client cd this consists of Client,Workstation and VT. On the Server cd this consists of Server,VT,Cluster, ClusterStorage. The VT directory contains the same rpms on each cd. The Cluster, ClusterStorage and Workstation directories do not have any common rpms. The Client and Server directories contain many common rpms along with many unique rpms. Scientific Linux has combined all of the rpm's from Client, Server, VT, Cluster, ClusterStorage, and Workstation into the SL directory. You are not asked to enter any key, since you have access to all packages. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- /contrib/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RPMS provided by colaboraters that either cannot go in main release or are intesting before going into main release.

It is NOT frozen, it is just searching for files that are not there. Give it a couple minutes and it will continue. This will be fixed before the final release.
