I'd rather find someone else to be totally responsible for it -- I put
out a call on my blog a while back and got no takers. As I have time,
I'll still do it, but if someone new wanted to own it full time, I'd
happily hand it over. However, I don't want to burden someone who
already has beats with Yet Another.

P.S. I haven't forgotten your other email about RH event sponsorship :)

Re: announce beat complete

Thanks Max! Do you want to keep writing the Planet beat as you are
able, or should we look for another writer? I would be happy to pick up
the Planet beat on the weeks you are simply too busy, and then you could
write them as you are able.

The single CD server install for CentOS 4.7 / x86_64 has now been
released and is available from all active mirrors. The ISO is available
on bit-torrent, via the torrent file :
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/isos/x86_64/CentOS-4.7.ServerCD-x86_64.torrent

Sha1sum for the torrent file is: 67f17d202957ed7ca0008892aad101f1c9b41956

md5sum for the CentOS 4.7 ServerCD / i386 is :
241218f19994cfae40627e6cd82549e5 CentOS-4.7.ServerCD-x86_64.iso

sha1sum for the CentOS 4.7 ServerCD / i386 is:
a9ce59148663e7697d509ec8c516f864c1912d13 CentOS-4.7.ServerCD-x86_64.iso

2. The included packages are a subset of all packages available in the

entire repository.

3. In order to ensure that drivers and other third party apps maintain
compatibility, the package set used on the Server CD is from Release
time CentOS 4.7, you are strongly encouraged to run a 'yum update'
immediately after installation.

4. As some of you will notice, the iso size is lower than the 650mb
acceptable for a single CD. Feedback on what other packages should be
aded or removed from this Single CD for the next release are very welcome.


Enjoy!
