From: pclink@cheops.qld.tne.oz.au (Rick) Subject: Source for X port, linux on CDROM. Date: 22 Jun 1992 01:53:15 GMT
As you may (or may not) know, Robert Bruce (rab@sprite) hopes to
publish a linux/bsd386 CD in about September. I'm *really* hanging
out for this. My concern is that when bob takes a snapshot of the
archive, he might miss some of the distribution. For instance, looking
around the archive sites (kirk & tsx-11) I can't seem to find the
source for the X11 port. So:
o Can someone arrange to have the X stuff put somewhere? Maybe
just the diffs?
o Would someone like to implement an ISO9660 file system so
that we can mount this sucker?
o Is there, somewhere, a complete linux distribution? Some
time ago, there was a lot of discussion regarding the
directory structure that the distribution should use. Was this
resolved? Was it implemented?
Mainly, I want to make sure that bob can generate a complete CD with a
minimum of fuss. I would do the IOS9660 system myself, except that I
don't have linux or (yet) a CDROM drive.
Cheers,
Rick.
