pre-2007.0 Test CD

Hi *,

a new (and probably the last) pre-2007.0 test-cd is up and
waiting for
you to test it on your boxes. Grab it here:
http://www.scherbaum.info/~tobias/installcd-hpp
a-2007.0-test4.iso

Most notable change is the move back to a "normal"
loop-filesystem
instead of SquashFS which has been used for the past 2 or 3
releases.
The SquashFS kernel-patch is b0rked for hppa and won't build
(#153457),
sadly this makes the CD quite large (now 130MB, 2006.1 was
about 70MB).
The CD is equipped with the latest available hppa-sources
(which is
2.6.20.1-hppa).

The CD is already tested and verified to work properly on my
C3700, i'll
do some additional testing on B2000/B2600 machines and a
735/99 - but
also would like to get feedback from you, which needs to be
sent in
ASAP.

tia,
  Tobias

Hello Tobias,

that's good to hear/see.

I'll try to do some tests with this on my C180 and will
report back till 
the end of the week. Would that be ASAP enough?

That machine lacks a CDROM, I assume I can boot the image
over the net?

Also, any areas you are especially interested in?

Greets,
   Peter
