Re: Linux version?

[Fred Proctor <proctor-at-cme.nist.gov>]

EMC folks,

There are now two releases of the EMC, one for Linux 2.0.36 (Red Hat
5.2) and RT Linux 0.9J, and one for Linux 2.2.13 (Red Hat 6.1) and RT
2.0. They are in separate directories on the NIST FTP site, as:

ftp://ftp.isd.mel.nist.gov/pub/emc/emcsoft/linux_2_0_36
ftp://ftp.isd.mel.nist.gov/pub/emc/emcsoft/linux_2_2_13

respectively. They are named according to the emc-<date>.<suffix>
convention, where:

<date> is something like 15-Mar-2000, and
<suffix> is:

.tgz -- compressed archive, expand with "tar xzvf emc-<date>.tgz"

.txt -- the RELEASE_NOTES file. This is the same for both distributions.
So, if you read this and see something for Linux 2.2.13, it doesn't mean
the whole .txt file is for Linux 2.2.13 only. So, no "oops" in this
post:

>
I downloaded the 29-Feb release, then read the .txt file and found out
it's ported to 6.1 with the 2.2.x kernel.  Oops.
<

.log -- the result of our install, against which you can compare yours
to see if errors are really errors or just warnings we lived with

.aaa,.aab,.aac -- floppy-sized splits of the .tgz file, in case you have
to walk floppies from your networked machine to your Linux box. Remake
the .tgz file from these via "cat emc-<date>.aaa emc-<date>.aab
emc-<date>.aac > emc-<date>.tgz". Note that the last ">" sign is really
a ">" sign. The ones in "<date>" indicate that you should fill in the
appropriate date.
