[Aurora-sparc-user] Aurora mirrors and Ultra 10 install problem/solution

[penna at bb.com.br]

Hi,

        I downloaded the 6 ISO images from the 
http://aurora.fedoramirror.net in order to install AL in my ultra-10 box.
        After spending some time I could see it was not possible to 
install AL-2.99 in my ultra-10 because it is IDE and not SCSI.
        Googling a little I discover that I had to boot with "linux 
ide=nodma" in order to make it work. But the installation had no progress 
(no disk found).
        Then, after a couple of days, searching at the aurora mailing list 
I saw a email from Karel and Tom "Spot" [1]
 that there was a bug about IDE and it will be fixed soon.
        Thanks Tom. It is fixed as we can see at the other message here 
[2].
        However I was confused by the 2.99 directory, I mean: 
/pub/linux/fedora/aurora/build-2.99/iso
        At the message [2] you point us out to the ISO's fixed. For my 
surprise, the ISO's are at /pub/linux/fedora/aurora/corona/sparc/iso are 
the good ones and the ISO's at 2.99 directory are the "bad" ISO's!
        My question is: Is that possible to replace the 2.99 (bad) ISO's 
for the corona (good) ones? In my humble opinion (and for the 
experience/pain I had until I discovered the right directory) the ISO's 
should be updated ....
        Anyway, I am just trying to help and appreciate the good job Tom 
is doing. Now, my old ultra-10 has some utility.
        Thank you a lot.
