Hello, We have released the second Beta of Scientific Linux 6. The release is at http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/ DVD and Net Install downloads are at http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/i386/iso/ http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/x86_64/iso/ ***CHANGED SINCE ALPHA 5*** yum-autoupdate was added. It is installed by default. Changes since SL5: All configurations are now in /etc/sysconfig/yum-autoupdate Nothing depends on this, so it can be removed if desired. SL_no_colorls was added. redhat-logos Updated Plymouth rings image with smoother font. Install-DVD This DVD contains only the packages TUV had on their install DVD. If users install with this DVD they are able to select the updates repository without problems. Everything-DVD's These are the DVD's we've always released. These DVD's contain the entire DVD release. If users install with this DVD they cannot select the updates repository. ***KNOWN ISSUES*** If you install openafs during the install, you do not get the firstboot screen that asks you which cell you want. If you are on a x86_64 machine, install the adobe repo, and install flash-plugin and/or AdobeReader_enu, you will get AdobeReader_<random language> in addition to what you asked for. You will also get many i686 packages installed for dependancies. ***CHANGES PLANNED FOR BETA 3*** We are planning on SL6 BETA 3 to be released Friday February 4, 2011 Expected Updates for Beta 3 - get openafs firstboot to run correctly. - kdemenu problems fixed - any other bugs fixed. Thanks to everyone who has tested and helped thus far. The Scientific Linux Development Team
