d split the SuSE 7.1 AXP (Alpha) distribution<br>across CDs. If your planning on<br> taking advantage of the Alpha Fest at the next meeting (geez I hope<br>this is still on?); AND you<br> would like to give SuSE a try, let me know and I will bring as many<br>copies as are requested, or as<br> many I can burn before Tuesday.<br><br> I have appended my own README for the CDs below<br> ===========================================================<br> README_CLUE<br> <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:kehellman@yahoo.com">kehellman@yahoo.com</a> - December 2, 2001<br><br> This is a set of 6 CDs that constitute a mirror (sans spm) of the<br> SuSE AXP (Alpha) FTP distrobution. I mirrored the site locally<br> with<br> >WGET='-nH --cut-dirs=6 -T 45 --passive-ftp --mirror --timestamping<br>-X<br> /pub/linux/distributions/suse/suse/axp/7.1/suse/zq1'<br> >wget ${WGET}<br><a cla
ss="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="ftp://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/distributions/suse/suse/axp/7.1/">ftp://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/distributions/suse/suse/axp/7.1/</a><br> around the last weekend of November. The download has been<br> grouped into 6 CD images (about 3.5Gb).<br><br> I'll make copies for anyone taking advantage of the<br>'Alpha-Early-Christmas-Party'<br> at the next CLUE meeting. I would only ask that you let me know if<br>you<br> want a set - so I don't blow too many CDRs.<br><br> I understand there is also going to be a door prize Alpha so unless<br>there<br> are objections, I'll burn a set for that lucky dog too.<br><br> CAVEATS<br> The SuSE ftp distribution has a fair amount of windows cruft<br> (suse/axp/7.1/windows, about 314Mb) which WOULD have landed on CD1<br> had there been room - there wasn't so its on CD6. Apparently its<br>for<br> 'enterprise' act
ivities or setting up SuSE linux on a machine<br>running<br> Windows NT/AXP. I figured we have a majority 'boot-disk'<br>demographic so<br> I pushed this stuff off to the end...<br><br> There is 1.5Gb of source RPMs available via FTP that are not on the<br>CDs<br> (all in the 'suse/zq1' directory).<br><br> I could not find AXP boot CD images on the SuSE ftp site, nor<br>mention that<br> they did exist. The SuSE readme says to<br> a) mirror their site<br> b) provide your mirror to the target Alpha via ftp<br> c) create a boot disk for alpha<br> d) choose FTP install and point the installer to your mirror<br> So you will need a little diskspace (~3.5Gb) and some type of<br>network<br> to use these CDs. I have attempted to keep the 'important stuff' on<br> the first CD. I judged 'important' by looking at my 6 CD SuSE<br>Professional<br> Distro (Intel) and determining which packa
ge sets were on which CDs,<br>and letting<br> that guide my CD groupings. It did not come out to be a perfect 1-1<br>mapping<br> but it is close. I suspect that if you don't mind a few<br>false-starts, you<br> could get away with less FTP space than 3.5 gigs. YMMV.<br><br> This file (README_CLUE) is on the first CD, as well as INDEX_CLUE.gz<br>which is<br> an index file for all 6 CDs. These are the only files that did not<br>come off<br> the FTP site.<br> \EOF<br><br> =====<br> Keith E.
