* Status of Red Hat Network:
rhn_register, the registration client for Red Hat Network, is
included, but registrations for the beta will not be accepted.
However, up2date will be fully functional in anonymous mode, and
we encourage people to make use of this functionality. We will
be attempting to synchronize our fixes with Update Agent on a
nightly basis, so if you report a problem and it gets fixed, you
can get a new version of that particular package on the following
day.
* Major known issues:
o PCMCIA support is touch-and-go; upgrading computers reliant on
PCMCIA may not work at all.
o Systems that include both floppy and IDE ZIP devices will fail
to install; a fixed boot disk has been made available to
correct this problem:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/beta/fisher/en/updates/images/fisher-upddsk1.img
A README file describing how to use the update is also in that
directory.
o Minimal installs do not support NFS out of the box. Install
the portmap package afterwards if you require this
functionality.
o Partitionless installs and upgrades are not currently working.
o Applications using dlopen() to load threaded libraries (such as
kdm) may crash with the i686 version of glibc. Additionally,
the i686 version of glibc only supports 2.4-based kernels.
If you are experiencing problems such as the one described
above, or need to run a 2.2-based kernel, install the i386
version of glibc by running:
rpm -Uvh --force glibc-2.2.1-3.i386.rpm
o X and KDE have known failures on Itanium.
