I wanted to try, http://ftp1.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/livecd/66/i386/SL-66-i386-2014-11-09-LiveDVD.iso but the two checksums are invalid. 9cc64db53fbb5b1bb7cc838eb59563921bd9f7b7 SL-66-i386-2014-11-09-LiveDVD.md5sum bd575af4452d24401541eee8a653f82521186d4a8f78afbe83d6bd6bf9c6ba13 SL-66-i386-2014-11-09-LiveDVD.md5sum I get no properly formatted MD5 checksum lines found Are there any working tags for SL-66-i386-2014-11-09-LiveDVD.md5sum?
Adding files to the sl repo
i'd like to stay with sl6, but there are some programs i need for coding. unfortunately they're not in the repo and i can't add them manually. do the developers take suggestions on files to add to the repo?
Re: how to add packages that are not in the repo?
can you make a repo install the version that you want, instead of the latest version? i want this: http://pkgs.repoforge.org/kaffeine/ (ver. 0.8) but instead i keep getting version 1.0 -Tini

i found 'kalarm' in the repo, it's under 'kdepim' thnx! --- Original Message --- From: Fait, James F. f...@anl.gov To: Tini t...@telekon.org, scientific-linux-users@fnal.gov scientific-linux-users@fnal.gov Subject: RE: Calender apps (was :how to add packages that are not in the repo?) Date: Sun, 31 May 2015 There are probably a dozen answers to this. If you have access to gmail/google Calender, it works extremely well, integrating with most smart-phones, etc. It is web based, which may or may not be an issue for you. Also, look at Zimbra Desktop, or for that matter, the open source Zimbra if you want it for more than yourself. Another option is Thunderbird, which has a calender and task list built in as well. I have run into all of these first as mail clients, but I have always used the calenders as well. I am currently using Google and Zimbra Desktop both, one for home and one for work. Admittedly, these are not Linux specific, but it should at least give you something to use while you find what you want.

Re: how to add packages that are not in the repo?
i want to get 'mplayer' and the 'smplayer' front end but they are not in EPEL. so i'll either have to find a repo that has them or i will have to get them from an outside source. it's in pkgs.org, does anyone know which one of these versions is 32-bit? http://pkgs.org/download/mplayer i am totally new to sl, that's why i'm asking about packages.
Re: how to add packages that are not in the repo?
