White Box Enterprise Linux 4    Saturday, May 07 2005 @ 04:00 AM EDT Contributed by: glosser White Box Enterprise Linux 4 has been released. Yes it has been delayed a few weeks longer than planned, but this baby is finally born! White Box Enterprise Linux 4 is now moving to the mirrors. The i386 iso images are widely distributed as I type and the x86_64 and source images should appear within 24 hours. The rest of the tree will be populated as bandwidth permits. As usual a torrent is also running, currently with two seeds and a dozen downloads already in progress. * This release is starting out with i386 (ia32) and AMD64 (x86_64/ia32e) ports built from the exact same source package set, which is RHEL4 updated with all errata released through April 30. * The kernel is an exception to the WB naming convention. This is done to allow 3rd party binary modules intended to be used on RHEL4 to load on White Box Enterprise Linux 4. So while the SRPM in origSRPMS and the SRPMS directory have the same name they are slightly different. Specifically, the WB package is modified to build a normal package outside of RH's Beehive build cluster and to change the name of the module signing key to say White Box. The install media is also not updated with the errata kernel for compatibility with driver discs. Full announcement   [ Views: 1638 ]
