    Hi,

    I made a beta1 for SuSE Linux 7.3/SPARC. You can download the iso image
    from

    ftp://ftp-suse.uni-freiburg.de/pub/suse/sparc/beta-7.3/beta1-sparc.iso

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 680460288 Sep 7 12:40 beta1-sparc.iso

    MD5: b233824ea41002bfe7dc72cf27c8da9d beta1-sparc.iso

    Known problems:
    - Old YaST1 is untested, YaST2 works fine over serial Console, in text
      mode and with X11.
    - LVM configuration with YaST2 does not work in the moment, but you
      can use the lvm tools
    - reiserfs only works on UltraSPARC
    - X11 configuration: If you cannot configure X11 with YaST2, please
      deinstall "sax2" and "sax2_sbus" with "rpm -e sax2 sax2_sbus" and
      install sax2 for PCI cards or sax2_sbus for SBUS/UPA cards like
      Creator3D, LEO, CG6, ...

    News:
    - Kernel 2.4.9 on UltraSPARC
    - Kernel 2.2.19 on 32bit SPARC
    - glibc 2.2.4
    - XFree86 4.1.0 for all cards
    - LVM
    - reiserfs on UltraSPARC
    - lot of new YaST2 modules
    - YaST2 can change boot-device and add an "linux" alias for booting
    - Support for Blade 100 and Blade 1000

    Please send bug reports to suse-sparc@suse.com or feedback@suse.de

     Thanks,
       Thorsten
