I have now put up SL 5.0 Beta 2 for i386.
Changes
Put in a few packages that were missing such as thunderbird,
gnome-pilot, *brl* , evolution-data-server*. Also removed a few packages
where there was a older and a newer version.
Updated redhat-logos to include "photography" images during the
install. If you have pictures that you would like included please contact
Troy at [log in to unmask] . Note that we only accept photographs that are
completely freely redistributable. This means nothing with a copywrite
unless you are the author and give permission.

> Cluster, ClusterStorage. The VT directory contains the same rpms on each cd.
> The Cluster, ClusterStorage and Workstation directories do not have any common
