Hi Roman, that sounds very kind! :-) I'd like to use it, but haven't founf on sdb.suse.de how to create a bootable cdrom from the ftp data. Any hints? Regards, Jens Roman Drahtmueller wrote:
It will happen when the version _after_ 8.2 is available on ftp.
8.2 is _available_ on ftp, thats why _7.1_ was _discontinued_.
We are using the occasion to kill one while another gets born. So the benefit for the community remains the same.

There is something I forgot to add: There is a new directory on the ftp server: /pub/suse/axp/supplementary/8.1/. It is a SuSE Linux 8.1 for AXP/Alpha. The tree is located in the supplementary directory _because_ this distribution will not see any updates. The idea behind it is that we would like to publish what we have (and what we use internally) to provide a service for the community, and since we have removed the last axp distribution from the list of distributions that get updates, it's a good idea to at least publish a new one. We can't provide any updates for the 8.1-axp distribution because we're lacking all kinds of resources for it: Machines (build hosts), testing/qa resources, ... There is no easy way of providing these resources without the necessary funding.
The supplementary directory trees for the architectures will see some new entry every once in a while in the next few weeks. Just because there are some things that we have on hold but that can't have updates.
Roman.
