Let me add:

I am a complete newbie, and saw a reference to 6.5

Since everything was there in the tree just like earlier versions, I downloaded the 386 iso, burned the DVD and installed. I upgraded the existing 6.4 installation. I'm just starting to use the machine, so this is no big disaster.

I do have a problem. I had put ATRPMS in my list of repos, and now I get an error because yum is looking for  link to el 6.5-i386 , but it is not there (at least, not for 32 bit). el6.4-i386 is there, as is el6.5-x86_64.

Is there a way to work around this? I am not using ATRPMS for anything; I intend to install mythTV down the road (you can tell the kind of user I am; I' ve been thinking about this for  years, but we were given a slingbox)...

My goal now is much simpler: I just want to get owfs running so I can read my one thermocouple...

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Subject: 6x->6.4?

I figure this is a stupid question; but, is 6.5 really not ready for prime
time yet? I see that the 6.5 repo tree appears to be open for business. But
6x seems to point to 6.4.
