- Hi Folks,
-
- ftp://vorlon.mit.edu/pub/ardi has a valid mirror of ARDI and a couple
- of other people have mentioned other sources for 1.99p6. I'll be
- collecting the mirror site information togetether and putting it in
- our welcome message in the next week or so.
-
- We waited until 1.99p6 was out to put a new 4 gig disk drive in one of
- our computers and are now in the process of doing that. This will
- allow us to have a bigger testing library (currently we do too much
- disk shuffling just to get a particular app in place for testing),
- allow us to install Windows NT (thanks to Chris hedberg) and also have
- space to build the disk image for the 2.0 CD-ROM. The disk went in
- fairly smoothly, but we're having a little trouble getting Linux to
- boot off sda5 (the first logical partition in our extended partition).
-
- There have been a few really major bugs reported in 1.99p6 for
- NEXTSTEP and a few regressions elsewhere. Give us a week or so to
- regroup and we should have 1.99p7 out. If there are no regressions in
- 1.99p7 we'll rebuild it as 1.99q and then put together our first beta
- CD-ROMs.
-
- As people are realizing that the time to register at the pre-2.0
- prices is running short, we're seeing more orders. This is good, but
- we still have the same number of full-time employees, so our response
- time may slow down just a little. Please be patient, but don't put
- off ordering Executor if you're thinking about it -- we *will* raise
- the prices as soon as 2.0 is sent to the CD-ROM duplicators.
