73rolling ---- Alpha release July 15, 2002
This release is based on RedHat Linux 7.3 with the following changes.
Please read this entire document before installing. Note again that this is
alpha. Please send in bug reports.
*Installation Locations
linux.fnal.gov:/export/linux/73rolling/i386/
Floppy image locations -- you will have to make your own floppies. If
the install complains that your floppy version does not match the installer
version then you need to download and make a new floppy.
ftp://linux.fnal.gov/linux/73rolling/i386/images/bootnet.img
Floppy laptop image locations
ftp://linux.fnal.gov/linux/73rolling/i386/images/pcmcia.img
ftp://linux.fnal.gov/linux/73rolling/i386/images/pcmciadd.img
To make the install floppys. Put a scratch floppy in "/dev/fd0". Download
the above file(s)
dd if=bootnet.img of=/dev/fd0
Note that there are multiple "drivers" floppy images for "other drivers".

Changes made by Fermi(Troy, Connie, Kevin)
Kerberos -- Fermi version -- added
The nameing conventions for the fermi kerberos rpm's was changed from 7.1.x
and 6.1.x. This was done so that the rpm's would install easier
during a regular install. Although both RedHat's and Fermi's kerberos
live happily together, whichever rpm is installed last is put into the
users path.
krb5-config-fermi-1.6-73x.1.i386.rpm
krb5-libs-fermi-1.6-73x.1.i386.rpm
krb5-workstation-fermi-1.6-73x.1.i386.rpm
OpenAFS -- added
The openafs rpm's are basically what openafs puts out. The only changes
are ThisCell (so that it binds to fermilab), the startup script (to do a
better job of checking to make sure the AFS servers are reachable), and
update_afs_cellservdb.pl (added to sync up the CellServDB file)
The binaries (such as klog, and tokens) are now in /usr/bin. If you find
that this is going to break scripts, you should intall the openafs-compat
rpm which will link everything to /usr/afsws like transarc's afs works.
openafs-1.2.3-FL731.2.i386.rpm
openafs-client-1.2.3-FL731.2.i386.rpm
openafs-compat-1.2.3-FL731.2.i386.rpm
openafs-kernel-1.2.3-FL2418.5.2.i386.rpm
OpenSSH -- updated
This is a major change. Please see the Fermi.openssh.readme in the
Fermi.documentation directory for more info. Do NOT skip reading this.
It is quite long which is why I have not included it in this document.
openssh-3.1p1f11-1rh73.i386.rpm
openssh-askpass-3.1p1f11-1rh73.i386.rpm
openssh-askpass-gnome-3.1p1f11-1rh73.i386.rpm
openssh-clients-3.1p1f11-1rh73.i386.rpm
openssh-server-3.1p1f11-1rh73.i386.rpm
Adobe Acrobat reader -- added
acroread-5.05.i386.rpm
acroread-plugin-5.05.i386.rpm
Jpilot -- upgraded - old version really broken
jpilot-0.99.2-2.i386.rpm
autorpm -- added
It is here for now, but will probably be replaced soon.
Mozilla -- upgraded to 1.0 version vs 0.9.9 version
Installed instead of netscape

mozilla-chat-1.0.0-4.i386.rpm
mozilla-devel-1.0.0-4.i386.rpm
mozilla-dom-inspector-1.0.0-4.i386.rpm
mozilla-js-debugger-1.0.0-4.i386.rpm

galeon-1.2.5-1.i386.rpm
Fermi Authored RPMS -- added
serialconsole-1.0-3.noarch.rpm
Changes /etc/inittab, /etc/lilo.conf, /etc/securetty so that
a person can do most everything through the console.
NOTE1:This is only supported with lilo, not grub.
NOTE2: Kudzu tries to be smart in setting the serial console.
This might have some undesired effects, such as allowing ONLY
logins from the serial console. This is still being
researched at this time.
zz_inittab_change-1.0-2.i386.rpm
Changes /etc/inittab to require the root password for
single user mode.
zz_sendmail_accept-1.0-2.i386.rpm
Changes Sendmail config so that it allows incomming mail.
Not installed by default. If you want it, you need to
install it. If a workgroup needs it then the workgroup
maintainer should add it to the workgroup. Same as 7.1.1 .
zz_lang_collate-1.0-2.noarch.rpm
Changes LANG so that sorting is done the same as 6.1 and
earlier. (ABCabc instead of AaBbCc). Not installed by
default. Same as 7.1.1 .
zz_no_colorls-1.0-1.noarch.rpm -- Workgroup can choose to install
Turns off "color" of ls. Same as 7.1.1 .
upsupdbootstrap-2.2-4.i386.rpm
upsupdbootstrap-generic-2.2-2.i386.rpm
upsupdbootstrap-local-2.2-2.i386.rpm
UPS/UPD bootstrap rpms. Same as on 7.1.1a
zz_ntp_configure-2.0-1.i386.rpm
Configure ntp for Fermi site network.
zz_emacs_link-1.0-1.i386.rpm
Make a symbolic link from "emacs" to "xemacs" when
xemacs is installed.
zz_tcp_wrappers_change-1.2-3.noarch.rpm
Disable all offsite access to common network services. Also
puts in the "DOE required login banners".
Workgroup tag files. Only 1 is installed depending on which
workgroup was selected.

Installer modifications
Kerberos is enabled by default on the normal RedHat authentication
screen. The installer does NOT know if what you put in here is
accurate so if you change something make sure it is right because
that is what you are going to get. This is not done the same way
as it was on Fermi Linux 7.1.1 . In this release I am using the
normal Redhat install screen. I just pre fill it out for you.
Fermized the graphics, and added many workgroup icons.
Changes to "defaults" from RedHat installer.
Firewall is off by default. RedHat default was Medium.
US/Central is default timezone. RedHat default was New York.
Kerberos is on by default with a realm of FNAL.GOV . RedHat default
was off.
Workgroups
The "contents" of the workgroups is either "from scratch" or
forwarded over from 71rolling depending on if you told Troy that
you wanted your workgroup forwarded from 71rolling. So most
workgroups are "from scratch" which means that they do not
have any configfiles/rpms/scripts. Talk to your workgroup maintainers
to see if your workgroup is ready.
Kickstarters will have to run the fermi "post.sh" just like they
did on Fermi Linux 7.1.1 .
Only INSTALLS are supported with this alpha release. Upgrades will
appear in upcoming beta.
Only NFS installs are supported at this time. I should have cdroms
available shortly, but not now.
