Hi,

I've updated the ARM Linux installer for Acorn machines, date code
1999.11.07.  There are updated installation instructions on the
web site.  The following changes have been made:

 * FTP mode added.
 * Most dependency problems resolved (updated RPM library).
 * Added "Fatal Error" when stuff goes majorly wrong.
 * Unimplemented bits disabled.
   (bootp net config, check for bad blocks, package selection)

Todo:

 * Allow installer to set root password.
 * Check for bad blocks during ext2fs formatting.
 * Network BOOTP configuration (if there is demand).
 * Individual package selection (if there is demand).
 * Write installation instructions for FTP mode.

Files changed:

 * arch/rpc/disks/root
 * arch/rpc/disks/supplemental
 * arch/rpc/install/RedHat/base/comps
 * arch/rpc/install/RedHat/base/hdlist
 * arch/rpc/install/RedHat/instimage/usr/bin/runinstall2
 * arch/rpc/install/RedHat/instimage/usr/bin/install.cpio

Files removed:

 * arch/rpc/install/RedHat/base/fsstnd.cgz
 * arch/rpc/install/RedHat/base/uglist

I specifically want to hear about any successes/failures from the use of
this release.  If you do encounter any problems, please let me know ASAP.
