In an earlier post at the Philippine Linux Users' Group mailing list,
I mentioned that I took the original Fedora Core 6 install DVD, and
the latest update RPMS at
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/
and merged them using Simone Caronni's "update.sh" script in:
http://www.users.on.net/~rgarth/weblog/fedora/patch_cd.autumn
to produce a FC6 installation DVD with all the latest updates up to
March 20, 2007. The new DVD was successfully installed on at least
two i386 PCs, and ( I believe) will successfully install many i386 hardware.
This new DVD is similar to the Fedora Unity respin DVDs, except that
the latest Unity respin only includes updates to January 11, 2007.
The DVD is 3.5GB, and I can not find a suitable place to host it. If you
are interested in a copy, please just email me.
When Fedora Core 6 was first announced in October 24, 2006, it included
the following
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC6ReleaseSummary). The
first
column gives the original versions released with FC6 "original", and the
second column gives the versions included in the FC6 "updated"
FC6 original FC6 updated
2007/3/20
kernel 2.6.18-1.2798 2.6.20-1.2925
glibc 2.5-3 2.5-10
gcc 4.1.1-30 4.1.1-51
binutils 2.17.50.0.3-6 2.17.50.0.6-2
xorg-x11 7.1-3 7.1-3
gnome-desktop 2.16.0-1 2.16.3-1
kdebase 3.5.4-12 3.5.6-0.1
openoffice writer 2.0.4-5.3 2.0.4-5.5
firefox 1.5.0.7-7 1.5.0.10-5
eclipse-sdk 3.2.1-4 3.2.2-1
We see that the FC6 updates up to March 20, 2007 touched almost
all of the most important packages in FC6. The most significant
update is kernel-2.6.20. No other stable (released) linux distribution
contains all these latest versions of packages (including RHEL,
CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, etc), I believe.
