Cluster Suite & GFS

  	A bug fix required a minor change to the cman/sm message formats 
  	between SL 4.1 and SL 4.2 that make the two versions incompatible, so all 
  	nodes need to be running the SL 4.2 version.
  	In other words:
  	If you have to upgrade from SL 4.0 and 4.1, you have to updated your 
	whole cluster at once.

dropit
  	dropit's intended purpose is to remove directories entries from  a
  	PATH shell variable value, which has colon separated fields.  
  	dropit is usable in sh, ksh, and csh shell script files.
  
  			dropit-1.2-1.i386.rpm
 
FUSE
 	
 	With FUSE it is possible to implement a fully functional filesystem 
 	in a userspace program.
 	fuse-smb: you can seamlessly browse your network neighbourhood as if 
 	it were on your own filesystem. Only when you're accessing a share is
 	a connection made to the remote computer.  This also allows users to 
 	mount smb shares using kerberos.
 	fuse-sshfs: A FUSE-filesystem client based on the 
 	SSH File Transfer Protocol.  On the client side mounting the 
 	filesystem is as easy as logging into the server with ssh.

Intel wireless firmware

 	Firmware for the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2100 and 2200 Driver.
 	Please read the license that comes in the rpm carefully.
 	ipw2200-firmware-2.4 includes both version 2.4.xx and 2.2.xx
 	This is needed because newer kernels have a newer driver that
 	needs the newer firmware.  Older kernels, with older drivers, 
 	need the 2.2 firmware version.

		ipw2100-firmware-1.3-5.noarch.rpm  
* 		ipw2200-firmware-3.0-1.noarch.rpm

  	ipw3945d is needed to control the ipw3945 wireless card
  	kernel-module-ipw3945 is needed because this driver is not in 
  	the standard kernel.  Note that the installer does NOT know
  	how to enable the 3945 wireless.   You will have to add the
  	starting of the /sbin/ipw3945d in your startup scripts.
 	This driver is known to work on the Dell 820 and Dell 620.  
 	It is known to NOT work on the FJS S7110 (Fujitsu).

	ipw3945-firmware-1.13-2.noarch.rpm
	ipw3945d-1.7.18-1.i386.rpm
* 	kernel-module-ipw3945-2.6.9-67.0.4.EL-1.1.0-1.SL4.i686.rpm
* 	kernel-module-ipw3945-2.6.9-67.0.4.ELhugemem-1.1.0-1.SL4.i686.rpm

* 	kernel-module-ipw3945-2.6.9-67.0.4.ELxenU-1.1.0-1.SL4.i686.rpm

JAVA

  
* 	java-1.5.0-sun-compat-1.5.0.14-1.sl4.jpp.noarch.rpm

  	This package provides JPackage compatibility symlinks and 
  	directories for Sun's JDK rpm.
  
* 	jdk-1.5.0_14-fcs.i586.rpm

 	This packages is the java sdk from sun.
 	It's license is found at misc/licenses/j2sdk-1.4.2-x.license
 	To have all of it's links (including plugins) setup correctly you should
* 	also install java-1.5.0-sun-compat
 	So the easiest thing to do is  
            yum install java-1.5.0-sun-compat
 	as it will automatically pull in the current jdk-1.5.0 rpm.

        There is no gpg signature on this rpm.  Putting one would violate
        the user license.  It also does not load if one is put on.

ksh
  
  	From ATT.  Same version as one in SL30x.
  	
  		ksh93-2000.10.31.0-1.i386.rpm

*madwifi

  	Support for Atheros G wireless
 	madfifi is the Multiband Atheros Driver for WiFi, a linux device driver

ndiswrapper
  
    The ndiswrapper project makes it possible to use WLAN-Hardware
    with Linux by means of a loadable kernel module that "wraps
    around" NDIS (Windows network driver API) drivers.  These rpms contain
    just the kernel module and loader. You will also need the Windows driver
    for your card.
 
    The installer does NOT install ndiswrapper,  you have to install it by
    either selecting it on the Packages Install page during the install or
    adding later via yum or apt.
  
   WARNING: Scientific Linux-Kernels use 4K size stack. Many Windows drivers
   will need at least 8K size stacks. For details read the wiki on:
   http:/ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net

*NumPy
 
 	http://numpy.scipy.org//
 	NumPy derives from the old Numeric code base and can be used as a 
 	replacement for Numeric.  It also adds the features introduced by 
 	Numarray and can also be used to replace Numarray.
 
 	This package contains:
         - a powerful N-dimensional array object
         - sophisticated (broadcasting) functions
         - basic linear algebra functions
         - basic Fourier transforms
         - sophisticated random number capabilities
         - tools for integrating Fortran code.

 	R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. 
 	It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment 
 	which was developed at Bell Laboratories by John Chambers and colleagues. 
 	R can be considered as a different implementation of S. There are some 
 	important differences, but much code written for S runs unaltered under R.

SL_afs_no_dynroot-2.0-1.noarch.rpm

	This package removes the -dynroot option from the openafs config
        Restarting of afs is needed for this to take effect.
	This rpm does not restart afs

SL_desktop_tweaks-2.0-4.noarch.rpm
   
  	This adds a terminal icon to the kicker panel for both KDE and GNOME.
  	This also enables 'Last Session' in gdm login screen.
  	Installed by default for both KDE and GNOME.

SL_disable_print_notification-1.0-4.noarch.rpm

	Removes eggcups notification.  Not installed by default.

SL_enable_serialconsole-3.1-4.noarch.rpm
  
  	This script makes all the changes necessary to send
  	console output to both the serial port and the screen.  This
  	also creates a login prompt on the serial port and allows users 
  	to login at this prompt. 
  	Update to include a missing dependency.
  
SL_enable_slocate_cron-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
  
	By default slocate does not run daily, it is turned off in it's
  	config file.  This turns it on when the rpm is added, and 
        turns it back off when the rpm is removed.

SL_firefox_parentlock_fix-1.0-10.noarch.rpm
 
 	When a users home area is in AFS space, it is possible for
 	firefox, thunderbird, and/or seamonkey to leave a lock file called
 	.parentlock when they are closed.  The user is then not able to
 	restart firefox, thunderbird, and/or seamonkey until that lock file 
 	is removed.  This puts in a startup script that removes the .parentlock
 	lock file.

SL_inittab_change-1.0-6.noarch.rpm
  
  	Changes /etc/inittab to require the root password for
        single user mode.  Not installed by default.
  
SL_libg2c.a_change-3.4.3-1.noarch.rpm
  
  	Creates a missing symbolic link in the gcc-g77 package from
  	/usr/lib/libg2c.a to it's proper place
  	Installed with gcc-g77.

SL_no_colorls-1.0-2.noarch.rpm 
 
	Turns off "color" of ls.  Not installed by default.

SL_pc_speaker-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
    
 	This package changes the rc.sysinit boot script so that
 	the pcspkr kernel module is loaded at an early stage.
 	This will allow the PC speaker to beep again.

SL_rpm_show_arch-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
  
  	Adds arch to "rpm -qa" listing.
  
SL_sendmail_accept-1.1-3.noarch.rpm
  
        Changes Sendmail config so that it allows incomming mail.
        Not installed by default.

  	Changed to not obsolete the older zz_sendmail_accept which is 
  	not needed any more

tidy
  	When editing HTML it's easy to make mistakes. Wouldn't it be nice if
  	there was a simple way to fix these mistakes automatically and tidy up
  	sloppy editing into nicely formated markup?
  	Dave Raggett's HTML TIDY is a free utility for doing just that.
  	It also works great on the atrociously hard to read markup generated
  	by specialized HTML editors and conversion tools, and can help you 
  	identify where you need to pay further attention on making your i
  	pages more accessible to people with disabilities.

yum

 	NOTE:  That just because a yum repository exists does NOT mean
 	it is SL 4.4 compatible with all other SL 4.4 yum repositories.
 	Use of other "packages" such as "smart" may cause the rpm database
 	to be not compatible with yum.
 
	createrepo is used to create yum repositories on the server for
	yum 2.1 and above, and possibly future versions of apt.

  	yum-conf has the check for a running yum in it, so that if 
  	yum has been running for a long time, when the yum.cron
  	starts up, it will kill the old yum.  This was changed because we
  	had reports that yum was "hanging".
  	
 	yum-conf-4.1-4.SL has atrpms, dag, and dries repo's in it, but they
 	are not enabled by default.  To enable them for one time use, use the

 	--enablerepo command, such as
 	  yum --enablerepo=atrpms list madwifi
 	  yum --enablerepo=dag install mplayer

 	If you want the repositories to be enabled all the time then you need
 	to edit the config files and change enabled=0 to enabled=1.
 	The config files are
 		/etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo

  	Yum version 2.4 and above has the kernel-module plugin that let's yum
  	understand how kernel-module rpm's are related to kernels.  Because of
  	this updates dealing with kernel-module rpm's (such as afs) now work
  	python-elementtree, python-sqlite, sqlite, and urlgrabber are all
  	needed for yum 2.4 and above.
  	
  	New for yum-conf-4.3: a sl-testing area (not on by default)
  	and yum.cron now checks to see how long the machine is been up
  	If it is up less than 20 hours, it doesn't wait, but does the update
  	This uptime check was done to help laptops and other machines that
  	might not be on long enough to wait for the random time.
  	metadata_expire variable was set to 20 hours to allow for normal users
  	to be able to use yum for those commands they can run
 
  	There is a fastbug repo area to correspond to the vendors fasttrack
  	This is not on by default.
  
  	yum-conf-4x was created for those users who want to be at the latest
  	stable release.  It is always pointing at the 4x area.  This means
  	that when we make new versions you will automatically be upgraded to
  	them.

*  adobe.repo now points to the repository at linuxdownload.adobe.com

Vendor "logo" and other required changes

    There are minimal changes compared to the "vendor" release.  We have changed
    the "rpms" that are required to be changed.  These changes are defined 
    by the "vendor".

	sl-release has been determined to be the place to change several
	global properties.  This is how fedora does it.
	sl-release changes the default mozilla and firefox bookmarks.
	sl-release changes the default up2date configuration to use yum and
	points this configuration to ftp.scientificlinux.org

 	Fixes /etc/redhat-release containing "Release" vs "release"	
 	Includes SL.releasenote
  	Changes grub to put in the new release name for the default kernel

  		indexhtml-4.1-1.SL.1.noarch.rpm
   		redhat-artwork-0.120.1-1.2SL.2.i386.rpm
		redhat-logos-1.1.25-1.SL.8.noarch.rpm
*		sl-release-4.6-1.noarch.rpm
	

These rpm's are not required to be changed by the vendor, we removed 
some vendor references customizations

  	desktop-backgrounds-basic-2.0-26.2.3SL.noarch.rpm
  	desktop-backgrounds-extra-2.0-26.2.3SL.noarch.rpm

comps
 
 	RPM which contains the comps.xml file used during the install.
 	Needed by Rocks.

glade2-2.6.0-1.SL4.i386.rpm
 
 	glade2 has an bug so that all you got was a blank window when it started.
 	This was an infinate loop bug, which was fixed.

Apache
 	Changed index.html to not have Upstream Vendor info but to
 	have SL info.

LIMITATIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Virtulization

  Scientific Linux 4.5 can *not* be a xen host, only a guest.

  Scientific Linux 4.5 and above have a xen kernel.  This allows them
  to be installed as a xen paravirtulizaed guest.  Follow the Virtual Host's
  instructions for installing a paravirtulizaed guest, to install
  Scientific Linux 4.5 as a xen guest.

Paravirtualizaed guests on Scientific Linux 5.0

  This is a limitation of Scientific Linux 5.0, but affects installing
  Scientific Linux 4.5 as a paravirtulized guest.  These limitations will
  hopefully be fixed in Scientific Linux 5.1 or 5.2

  - 32 bit (i386) paravirtualized guests cannot run on a 
    64 bit (x86_64) host (dom0). It will fail.
  - 64 bit (x86_64) paravirtualized guests cannot run on a 
    32 bit (i386) host (dom0). It will fail.

Fully Virtualizaed guests on Scientific Linux 5.0

  This is a limitation of Scientific Linux 5.0, but affects installing
  Scientific Linux 4.5 as a fully virtulized guest.

  - 64 bit fully-virtulizaed guests cannot run on a 
    32 bit (i386) host (dom0).  It will fail.

system-config-packages  add,remove packages

	This does NOT work use yum instead.

up2date

	up2date is not supported in Scientific Linux.  
	Please use yum instead.

ipw3945
	Does not work in the installer and does not work on some laptops.

3ware 8xxx and 9xxx in same system
	
	Grub can get confused about which "drives" are which if both
	of these cards are installed.  You can either run grub manually
	before rebooting or use "noprobe" during the install and install
	only the 3ware driver for the card that you will be booting off of.
