: Maybe I have missed something here? When will the R1 CD become available?
: Will it work run on my PMac 8500 (I am running DR3 without a hitch at
: the moment). Will PTF still provide the CD and reference materal as in
: the past? (this was a nice package!)
R1 will support all machines that mklinux currently supports. This means just about all macs (excluding: 6200, G4, Bronze G3 powerbook, Imac, Ibook). The only difference between R1 and DR3 is the userland has been updated to glibc2.1 instead of the older glibc2.0. This causes all exes to break and need to be replaced.
PTF probably won't be distributing the disc at least right away. The disc is currently planning to be distributed by the mklinux group/Montavista Software. There will be information on the main page here and also at mklinux.org about how to get the cd when it is ready. Soon hopefully so that I can install it too since I am running DR3 instead of downloading R1 with my slow connection.
