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. * 915resolution-0.5.3-6.el4.i386.rpm *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 * * This version of alpine when it writes to a large old Unix mailbox format * email area can be very slow. The best solution to this is to convert * your old Unix mailbox files to "mix" format mail files. * More info can be obtained from * * Evaluation of file formats: * http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/pipermail/alpine-info/2008-July/000971.html * Problem description: * http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/pipermail/alpine-info/2009-February/thread.html#1658 * Conversion : * http://www.phwinfo.com/forum/comp-mail-imap/198358-mailutil-mix-file-size.html * * alpine-2.00-2.el4.i386.rpm apt apt-0.5.15cnc6-9.SL.i386.rpm apt-devel-0.5.15cnc6-9.SL.i386.rpm * apt-sourceslist-48-1.SL.i386.rpm apt-autoupdate-1-5.SL.noarch.rpm apt-firstboot-1-5.SL.noarch.rpm apt-scripts-1-5.SL.noarch.rpm *cfitsio CFITSIO is a library of C and FORTRAN subroutines for reading and writing data files in FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) data format CFITSIO is widely used in the astronomical community. * cfitsio-3.100-1.el4.i386.rpm * cfitsio-devel-3.100-1.el4.i386.rpm Cluster Suite & GFS A bug fix required a minor change to the cman/sm message formats between SL 4.1 and SL 4.2 that make the two versions incompatible, so all nodes need to be running the SL 4.2 version.

Please read the license that comes in the rpm carefully. ipw2200-firmware-2.4 includes both version 2.4.xx and 2.2.xx This is needed because newer kernels have a newer driver that needs the newer firmware. Older kernels, with older drivers, need the 2.2 firmware version. ipw2100-firmware-1.3-5.noarch.rpm ipw2200-firmware-3.0-1.noarch.rpm ipw3945d is needed to control the ipw3945 wireless card kernel-module-ipw3945 is needed because this driver is not in the standard kernel. Note that the installer does NOT know how to enable the 3945 wireless. You will have to add the starting of the /sbin/ipw3945d in your startup scripts. This driver is known to work on the Dell 820 and Dell 620. It is known to NOT work on the FJS S7110 (Fujitsu). ipw3945-firmware-1.13-2.noarch.rpm ipw3945d-1.7.18-1.i386.rpm * kernel-module-ipw3945-2.6.9-89.0.3.EL-1.1.0-1.SL4.i686.rpm * kernel-module-ipw3945-2.6.9-89.0.3.ELhugemem-1.1.0-1.SL4.i686.rpm * kernel-module-ipw3945-2.6.9-89.0.3.ELsmp-1.1.0-1.SL4.i686.rpm * kernel-module-ipw3945-2.6.9-89.0.3.ELxenU-1.1.0-1.SL4.i686.rpm *JAVA * java-1.6.0-sun-compat-1.6.0.12-1.sl4.jpp.i586.rpm This package provides JPackage compatibility symlinks and directories for Sun's JDK rpm. * jdk-1.6.0_12-fcs.i586.rpm This packages is the java sdk from sun. It's license is found at misc/licenses/j2sdk-1.4.2-x.license To have all of it's links (including plugins) setup correctly you should also install java-1.5.0-sun-compat So the easiest thing to do is yum install java-1.6.0-sun-compat as it will automatically pull in the current jdk-1.5.0 rpm. There is no gpg signature on this rpm. Putting one would violate the user license. It also does not load if one is put on. ksh From ATT.

These rpms contain just the kernel module and loader. You will also need the Windows driver for your card. The installer does NOT install ndiswrapper, you have to install it by either selecting it on the Packages Install page during the install or adding later via yum or apt. WARNING: Scientific Linux-Kernels use 4K size stack. Many Windows drivers will need at least 8K size stacks.

This turns it on when the rpm is added, and turns it back off when the rpm is removed. SL_firefox_parentlock_fix-1.0-10.noarch.rpm When a users home area is in AFS space, it is possible for firefox, thunderbird, and/or seamonkey to leave a lock file called .parentlock when they are closed. The user is then not able to restart firefox, thunderbird, and/or seamonkey until that lock file is removed. This puts in a startup script that removes the .parentlock lock file.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a simple way to fix these mistakes automatically and tidy up sloppy editing into nicely formated markup? 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 i pages more accessible to people with disabilities. tidy-2005.9.21-2.sl4.i386.rpm tidy-devel-2005.9.21-2.sl4.i386.rpm *unionfs * * Unionfs builds a stackable unification file system, which * can appear to merge the contents of several directories (branches), * while keeping their physical content separate.

Use of other "packages" such as "smart" may cause the rpm database to be not compatible with yum. createrepo is used to create yum repositories on the server for yum 2.1 and above, and possibly future versions of apt. yum-conf has the check for a running yum in it, so that if yum has been running for a long time, when the yum.cron starts up, it will kill the old yum. This was changed because we had reports that yum was "hanging". yum-conf-4.1-4.SL has atrpms, dag, and dries repo's in it, but they are not enabled by default. To enable them for one time use, use the --enablerepo command, such as yum --enablerepo=atrpms list madwifi yum --enablerepo=dag install mplayer 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 /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/dries.repo Yum version 2.4 and above has the kernel-module plugin that let's yum understand how kernel-module rpm's are related to kernels. Because of this updates dealing with kernel-module rpm's (such as afs) now work python-elementtree, python-sqlite, sqlite, and urlgrabber are all needed for yum 2.4 and above. New for yum-conf-4.3: a sl-testing area (not on by default) and yum.cron now 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 This uptime check was done to help laptops and other machines that might not be on long enough to wait for the random time. 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 There is a fastbug repo area to correspond to the vendors fasttrack This is not on by default. yum-conf-4x was created for those users who want to be at the latest stable release. It is always pointing at the 4x area. This means that when we make new versions you will automatically be upgraded to them.

We have changed the "rpms" that are required to be changed. These changes are defined by the "vendor". sl-release has been determined to be the place to change several global properties. This is how fedora does it. sl-release changes the default mozilla and firefox bookmarks. sl-release changes the default up2date configuration to use yum and points this configuration to ftp.scientificlinux.org Fixes /etc/redhat-release containing "Release" vs "release" Includes SL.releasenote Changes grub to put in the new release name for the default kernel indexhtml-4.1-1.SL.1.noarch.rpm redhat-artwork-0.120.1-1.2SL.2.i386.rpm redhat-logos-1.1.25-1.SL.8.noarch.rpm * sl-release-4.8-1.noarch.rpm These rpm's are not required to be changed by the vendor, we removed some vendor references customizations desktop-backgrounds-basic-2.0-26.2.3SL.noarch.rpm desktop-backgrounds-extra-2.0-26.2.3SL.noarch.rpm *comps-48-0.*.i386.rpm RPM which contains the comps.xml file used during the install.

Scientific Linux 4.5 and above have a xen kernel. This allows them to be installed as a xen paravirtulizaed guest. Follow the Virtual Host's instructions for installing a paravirtulizaed guest, to install Scientific Linux 4.5 as a xen guest. Paravirtualizaed guests on Scientific Linux 5.0 This is a limitation of Scientific Linux 5.0, but affects installing Scientific Linux 4.5 as a paravirtulized guest. These limitations will hopefully be fixed in Scientific Linux 5.1 or 5.2 - 32 bit (i386) paravirtualized guests cannot run on a 64 bit (x86_64) host (dom0). It will fail. - 64 bit (x86_64) paravirtualized guests cannot run on a 32 bit (i386) host (dom0). It will fail. Fully Virtualizaed guests on Scientific Linux 5.0 This is a limitation of Scientific Linux 5.0, but affects installing Scientific Linux 4.5 as a fully virtulized guest. - 64 bit fully-virtulizaed guests cannot run on a 32 bit (i386) host (dom0). It will fail. system-config-packages add,remove packages This does NOT work use yum instead. up2date up2date is not supported in Scientific Linux. Please use yum instead. ipw3945 Does not work in the installer and does not work on some laptops. 3ware 8xxx and 9xxx in same system Grub can get confused about which "drives" are which if both of these cards are installed. You can either run grub manually before rebooting or use "noprobe" during the install and install only the 3ware driver for the card that you will be booting off of. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFO ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Site https://www.scientificlinux.org FTP ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40rolling/ Mailing Lists scientific-linux-devel@fnal.gov Development of Scientific Linux scientific-linux-users@fnal.gov Users of Scientific Linux supporting each other scientific-linux-announce@fnal.gov Announcements concerning Scientific Linux scientific-linux-errata@fnal.gov Announcements about Security Errata ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ERRATA rebuilt from SRPMS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * kdelibs-3.3.1-14.el4.i386.rpm * kdelibs-devel-3.3.1-14.el4.i386.rpm * lvm2-2.02.42-5.el4_8.2.i386.rpm * thunderbird-1.5.0.12-23.el4.i386.rpm * kernel-2.6.9-89.0.3.EL.i686.rpm * kernel-devel-2.6.9-89.0.3.EL.i686.rpm * kernel-doc-2.6.9-89.0.3.EL.noarch.rpm * kernel-hugemem-2.6.9-89.0.3.EL.i686.rpm * kernel-hugemem-devel-2.6.9-89.0.3.EL.i686.rpm * kernel-smp-2.6.9-89.0.3.EL.i686.rpm * kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-89.0.3.EL.i686.rpm * kernel-xenU-2.6.9-89.0.3.EL.i686.rpm * kernel-xenU-devel-2.6.9-89.0.3.EL.i686.rpm * seamonkey-1.0.9-44.el4_8.i386.rpm * seamonkey-chat-1.0.9-44.el4_8.i386.rpm * seamonkey-devel-1.0.9-44.el4_8.i386.rpm * seamonkey-dom-inspector-1.0.9-44.el4_8.i386.rpm * seamonkey-js-debugger-1.0.9-44.el4_8.i386.rpm * seamonkey-mail-1.0.9-44.el4_8.i386.rpm * finch-2.5.8-1.el4.i386.rpm * finch-devel-2.5.8-1.el4.i386.rpm * irb-1.8.1-7.el4_8.3.i386.rpm * libpurple-2.5.8-1.el4.i386.rpm * libpurple-devel-2.5.8-1.el4.i386.rpm * libpurple-perl-2.5.8-1.el4.i386.rpm * libpurple-tcl-2.5.8-1.el4.i386.rpm * pidgin-2.5.8-1.el4.i386.rpm * pidgin-devel-2.5.8-1.el4.i386.rpm * pidgin-perl-2.5.8-1.el4.i386.rpm * ruby-1.8.1-7.el4_8.3.i386.rpm * ruby-devel-1.8.1-7.el4_8.3.i386.rpm * ruby-docs-1.8.1-7.el4_8.3.i386.rpm * ruby-libs-1.8.1-7.el4_8.3.i386.rpm * ruby-mode-1.8.1-7.el4_8.3.i386.rpm * ruby-tcltk-1.8.1-7.el4_8.3.i386.rpm * dhclient-3.0.1-65.el4_8.1.i386.rpm * dhcp-3.0.1-65.el4_8.1.i386.rpm * dhcp-devel-3.0.1-65.el4_8.1.i386.rpm * rsh-0.17-25.4.1.i386.rpm * rsh-server-0.17-25.4.1.i386.rpm * libtiff-3.6.1-12.el4_8.4.i386.rpm * libtiff-devel-3.6.1-12.el4_8.4.i386.rpm * firefox-3.0.12-1.el4.i386.rpm * seamonkey-1.0.9-45.el4_8.i386.rpm * seamonkey-chat-1.0.9-45.el4_8.i386.rpm * seamonkey-devel-1.0.9-45.el4_8.i386.rpm * seamonkey-dom-inspector-1.0.9-45.el4_8.i386.rpm * seamonkey-js-debugger-1.0.9-45.el4_8.i386.rpm * seamonkey-mail-1.0.9-45.el4_8.i386.rpm
