[KLUG Members] BSware-SGI 7.2

[Bruce Smith]

*** Announcing BSware-SGI 7.2 ***

BSware-PRO is dead, long live BSware-SGI.

BSware-SGI gives you the same results as BSware-PRO did.
You can install to XFS partition(s), you get all the XFS
utilities, and the SGI-XFS modified Redhat 7.2 kernels.
However it does it differently, so I am changing the name
to help avoid any confusion.  The differences are:

The new BSware-SGI 7.2 is a 3 CD distribution, or a 1 CD
addon, depending on how you look at it.  It consists of a
stock BSware 7.2 two CD set, and one matching SGI-XFS CD.

If you want to install to XFS partition(s), or want the
SGI-XFS kernels, boot from the SGI CD.  If you want a stock
Redhat/BSware, boot from BSware CD#1.  You get two different
distibutions on the 3 CD set.  It's that simple.

The third CD works just like the stock SGI download CD, except 
it is modified every week to work with the latest BSware.

*** VERY IMPORTANT: ***

ALL 3 CD's MUST MATCH VERSION NUMBERS or the INSTALL WILL FAIL.
You cannot buy a SGI-XFS CD version #5.0 this week and expect 
it work with your BSware #4.0 (or older).  IT WILL NOT.  And I 
will NOT be making any versions other than the current week's. 

I haven't updated the web page yet (soon), but don't wait for
that, feel free to PLACE YOUR ORDERS NOW!!!   :-)

BSware-SGI is a 3 CD set consisting of a stock 2 CD BSware and 
the SGI-XFS install CD.
