![]() ![]() ![]() I'm sure there's a way to rebuild old linux distros at least from optical media, and merge them even, which would be a fun thing to do with my archives. (In case developers are reading, just sayin' farm that out like Vpro AMT.plausible deniability? 8-PĮven Apple lets you reinstall End Of LIfe versions.and they provide the updates still at least with tiger and leopard up to the EOL date.I was kind of disappointed with that, but not enough to try to work around it, installed PC-BSD 1.5 instead and it did run stable.I suspect newer OSes were killed by hardware DRM.or the lack of it.Ĭaveat: haven't checked the licenses, assume the folowing applies only to GNU/free software sourced from the package rights holder according to their licenses, and this would be a non-production pre-compliance template/catalogue only pending an audit: Not make the installer panic after expiry of mirrors. You're supposed to have Sun and Adobe render it unsafe with "every patch is fatal." The installer panicked because it couldn't find a valid mirror.shouldn't panic, it was programmed to panic, should simply warn.very apple powerpc of RH ) So I wanted to reinstall FC6 because I knew it worked, and because one of the reasons it worked is it had some upstream hardware tools I have never seen made available before or since(that doesn't mean they aren't available widely now, but I've not seen them) It was unstable after that incident (The card, coincidentally perhaps, died at the precice moment I hit "download" on an intrustion detection suite Linux Distro iso image) I recently wanted to reload FC6 after my video card blew caps(capacitors) I ask because Fedora Core 6 was the first operating system that was capable of running correctly on a socket 939 based computer I built years ago. Has anyone created a local repository of one that has been End of Life'd? Usually, a "tar ball" will have a file named README and/or INSTALL that will tell you what's required to build & install the program from source.Įdit: Oops: there's a forum catagory for this.will report it myself skip this -waste of your time. (sometimes, you'll have to use sudo make install instead), if you do this as your user instead of "root"). With those, you extracted the package's source somewhere, then use You can also install programs built from a "tar ball" (usually named with ".tgz", ".tar.gz" or similar). fc10 package (nautilus-dropbox-1.4.86_64.rpm).įinally, rpm packages aren't necessarily a requirement (they do make it much easier to manage though). And, some older Fedora packages still work with Fedora 17, even though they've been orphaned for several years. (yum used to use localinstall for this, but now just uses install for local & remote packages).Īlso, you can mix i386 & x86_64 packages on an x86_64 system. Yum can also install a local package (one that you've downloaded or built yourself). I forgot to mention that (in case you don't already know), packages don't have to be in a repository to be installed. You might also need their -devel packages as well (and any -devel packages those need - this is known as "dependency hell"). Since those dependencies aren't in the F17 repos, you'll have to build & install those too. ![]()
