?cfitsio
? 
? 	CFITSIO is a library of C and FORTRAN subroutines for reading and 
? 	writing data files in FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) data format
? 	CFITSIO is widely used in the astronomical community.

**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.

*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-3.0 includes version 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, and 3.0
**
**	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).

?JAVA
?
? 	java-1.4.2-sun-compat-1.4.2.10-1jpp.i586.rpm
?  
?  	This package provides JPackage compatibility symlinks and 
?  	directories for Sun's JDK rpm.
?  
? 	j2sdk-1.4.2_10-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-1.4.2-sun-compat
? 	So the easiest thing to do is  
?            yum install java-1.4.2-sun-compat
? 	as it will automatically pull in the current j2sdk-1.4.2 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.

?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.

?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-5-2.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
?

?        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.

?  	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
**
**  	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
**
**	yum-conf
**  	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
** 	yum-conf has the following repositories in it
**	  sl-base (enabled)
**	  sl-security (enabled)
**	  sl-testing (not enabled)
?	  sl-fastbugs (not enabled)
?	  sl-bugfix-51 (not enabled)
**	  atrpms (not enabled)
**	  dag (not enabled)
**	  flash (not enabled)
** 	Not all repositories are enabled by default.  
**	To enable them for one time use, use the --enablerepo command, such as
** 	  yum --enablerepo=atrpms list mplayer
** 	  yum --enablerepo=dag install xine
** 	  yum --enablerepo=flash install flash-player
**
** 	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 in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory and are named like
** 	  /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo
** 	  /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo
**	
**	NOTE1: Just because a yum repository exists does NOT mean
**	it is compatible with all other yum repositories.  We have included 
**	the repositories we did because they usually work well together.  But if
**	there is a problem with one of the packages in a repository, please contact
**	that repository maintainer.
**
**	yum-autoupdate
**  	yum-autoupdate has the check for a running yum in it, so that if 
**  	yum has been running for a long time (close to 24 hours), when the yum.cron
**  	starts up, it will kill the old yum.  This was changed because we
**  	had reports that yum was hanging and we didn't want this to interfere with updates.
**
**  	yum-autoupdate 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.
**	If it is longer than 20 hours, it waits a random time, up to 3 hours.
**  	This uptime check was done to help laptops and other machines that
**  	might not be on long enough to wait for the random time.
**	The random time was put it in so that servers arn't overwhelmed.
?  
?  	yum-conf-5x was created for those users who want to be at the latest
?  	stable release.  It is always pointing at the 5x area.  This means
?  	that when we make new versions you will automatically be upgraded to
?  	them.

**/SL/
**-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RHELv5b2 consists of 2 cd sets,  Server and Client.  Each cd set has a group 
of directories which contain the actual rpms.  On the Client cd this consists 
of Client,Workstation and VT.  On the Server cd this consists of Server,VT,
Cluster, ClusterStorage.  The VT directory contains the same rpms on each cd.  
The Cluster, ClusterStorage and Workstation directories do not have any common
rpms. The Client and Server directories contain many common rpms along with 
many unique rpms.  

** We have combined all of the rpm's from Client, Server, VT, Cluster,
** ClusterStorage, and Workstation into the SL directory.
** You are not asked to enter any key, since you have access to all packages.

LIMITATIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
**ipw3945
**	Does not work in the installer
	?? and does not work on some laptops.

**ftp install
**	Currently, during an ftp install when it get's the the graphical 
**	section, there is a long pause (close to a minute) when it sits 
**	at a blank screen.  It is NOT frozen,  it is just searching for 
**	files that are not there.  Give it a couple minutes and it
**	will continue.  This will be fixed before the final release.

?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.
