The first release candidate for Scientific Linux 5.7 has been released.

This release has all the new updated packages from The Upstream Vendors
Update 7, as well as the security and fastbugs up to today.

We have network install images, and DVD images.  No CD images are 
available at this time.

CHANGES Since Beta 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have created the scientific/57 directory.  Everything in it is 
currently pointing to the appropriate 5rolling directory.  This is so we 
can test the various scripts that need to point to 57.

sl-release
  - sources is now pointing to 57 instead of 5rolling

yum-conf
  - The appropriate yum repositories are now pointing to 57 instead of 
5rolling

Intel Wireless
   - iwlwifi-XXXX-ucode was replaced with iwlXXXX-firmware to reflect 
the naming convention of The Upstream Vendor (TUV).  In Beta 2 we had 
put in the new packages for x86_64, but forgot to take out the old 
packages.  The old packages are now gone.

We made sure that all i386 packages that are supposed to be in the 
x86_64, were actually *in* the x86_64 area.
