README for SourceMage i386/ppc 0.9.3 Install CD ----------------------------------------------- Please report bugs in bugzilla (http://bugs.sourcemage.org/), describing your hardware and symptoms. 1) What's new in this release? * Using a 2.6.8.1 kernel * NPTL has been removed * Native support of udev and static /dev * Installs a bootable system * Works better: - yaboot/lilo/grub have been tested with or without a separate /boot partition * All software have been compiled using stable sorcery/grimoire, with few patches. 2) Software on the ISO bash 2.05b bzip2 1.0.2 console-data 1999.08.29 console-tools 0.2.3 coreutils 5.2.1 cpio 2.5 devfsd v1.3.25 device-mapper 1.00.19 dhcpcd 1.3.22-pl4 dialog 1.0-20040721 diffutils 2.8.1 e2fsprogs 1.35 elvis 2.2_0 file 4.10 findutils 4.1.20 gawk 3.1.4 gdbm 1.8.3 gettext 0.14.1 glibc 2.3.2 glibc-kernel-headers 2.6.8.1 grep 2.5.1 gzip 1.2.4b hdparm 5.7 hotplug 2004_04_01 init.d 2.1.4 jed 0.99-17 jfsutils 1.1.6 less 382 libpcap 0.8.3 linux 2.6.8.1 lvm 2.00.24 make 3.80 module-init-tools 3.1-pre5 nano 1.3.4 ncurses 5.4 netconf 1.5 netkit-base 0.17 netkit-ping 0.17 net-tools 1.60 nfs-utils 1.0.6 openssh 3.9p1 openssl 0.9.7d parted 1.6.14 patch 2.5.4 pciutils 2.1.11 pcmcia-cs 3.2.8 popt 1.7 portmap 4 ppp 2.4.2 procinfo 18 procps 3.2.3 raidtools 1.00.3 readline 5.0 reiserfsprogs 3.6.18 rpmunpack 0 rp-pppoe 3.5 sed 4.1.2 shadow 4.0.4.1 simpleinit-msb 1.2 slang 1.4.9 sysfsutils 1.2.0 tar 1.14 tcp_wrappers 7.6 tdb 1.0.6 texinfo 4.7 udev 032 unzip 5.51 util-linux 2.12d wget 1.9.1 which 2.16 wireless_tools 26 xfsprogs 2.6.3 xinetd 2.3.13 zlib 1.2.1 ppc specific: hfsutils 3.2.6 mac-fdisk 0.1.orig mktemp 1.5 yaboot 1.3.12 3) Software installed by the ISO (some of then are optionals) autoconf 2.59 bash 2.05b binutils 2.15 bison 1.875b bzip2 1.0.2 ccache 2.4 console-data 1999.08.29 console-tools 0.2.3 coreutils 5.2.1 cpio 2.5 cvs 1.12.9 device-mapper 1.00.19 dhcpcd 1.3.22-pl4 dialog 1.0-20040721 diffutils 2.8.1 distcc 2.14 e2fsprogs 1.35 elvis 2.2_0 EthStatus 0.3.0 file 4.10 findutils 4.1.20 flex 2.5.27 gawk 3.1.4 gcc 3.3.3 gdbm 1.8.3 gettext 0.14.1 glib 1.2.10 glibc 2.3.2 glibc-kernel-headers 2.6.8.1 glibc 2.3.2 glibc-kernel-headers 2.6.8.1 glibc-kernel-headers 2.6.8.1 grep 2.5.1 groff 1.19.1 gzip 1.2.4b hdparm 5.7 hfsutils 3.2.6 hotplug 2004_04_01 init.d 2.1.4 installwatch 0.6.3 irssi 0.8.9 jed 0.99-17 jfsutils 1.1.6 less 382 libol 0.3.13 libpcap 0.8.3 links 0.98 linux 2.6.8.1 lvm 2.00.24 m4 1.4.2 mac-fdisk 0.1.orig make 3.80 man 1.5o man-pages 1.67 man-pages 1.67 metalog 0.7 minicom 2.1 mktemp 1.5 module-init-tools 3.1-pre5 mutt 1.4.2i nano 1.3.4 nasm 0.98.38 ncurses 5.4 netconf 1.5 netkit-base 0.17 netkit-ping 0.17 net-tools 1.60 nfs-utils 1.0.6 nmap 3.70 openssh 3.9p1 openssl 0.9.7d patch 2.5.4 pciutils 2.1.11 pcre 4.5 perl 5.8.5 pkgconfig 0.15.0 popt 1.7 portmap 4 ppp 2.4.2 procinfo 18 procps 3.2.3 raidtools 1.00.3 readline 5.0 reiserfsprogs 3.6.18 rpmunpack 0 rp-pppoe 3.5 screen 4.0.2 sed 4.1.2 shadow 4.0.4.1 simpleinit-msb 1.2 slang 1.4.9 sysfsutils 1.2.0 sysklogd 1.4.1 syslog-ng 1.6.2 tar 1.14 tcp_wrappers 7.6 texinfo 4.7 udev 032 unzip 5.51 uptimed 0.3.1 util-linux 2.12d vim 6.3 wget 1.9.1 which 2.16 wireless_tools 26 xfsprogs 2.6.3 xinetd 2.3.13 yaboot 1.3.12 zlib 1.2.1 i386 specific: bin86 0.16.16 grub 0.93 lilo 22.6 ppc specific: hfsutils 3.2.6 mac-fdisk 0.1.orig mktemp 1.5 yaboot 1.3.12 4) Hardware Issues * The ppc version should boot on New World machine exclusively (due to the use of yaboot only). Press 'c' when your computer starts to boot from the CD-ROM. * On the ppc CD, everything has been compiled for 740 cpus (i.e. G3, G4 and G5 apple models), so don't bother trying if you have an earlier model. * on the i386 CD, everything has been compiled for i386 cpu, so it should on all newer cpus. 5) Known problems * on ppc, don't use the sorcery combreloc option. It is not supported by gcc. * on ppc, don't use the sorcery strip option when compiling linux, the compilation will fail near the end. * on ppc, the french keyboard is not well supported. * the RAID menu is not working at all. 6) References: - SourceMage GNU/Linux download site: http://download.sourcemage.org/ - SourceMage GNU/Linux wiki: http://wiki.sourcemage.org/ - SourceMage GNU/Linux irc channel (english): irc://irc.freenode.net/#sourcemage - SourceMage GNU/Linux irc channel (french): irc://irc.freenode.net/#sourcemagefr 7) Credits * Thanks to Javier 'de_Moya' Lopez Baeza for previous ppc ISO and Kevin 'Unet' Dahan for the 0.8.1-ppc iso.
