Tao LInux/ia64 release announce

Hi,

It has been long journey for me. Initially i packages the ia64 for
WBEL, but later i moved to package under Tao Linux.

Begin of the years was busy with work on x86-64 and s390. Later, when i
had ia64 kind of ready, the update2 was upcoming event and delayed the
release 'post update2 merge'.

Previously i have iterated of building the ia64 BASE with updated gcc,
but ended up every time weird behaviour of sources even now building
properly. That's why

- ia64 release is compiled with gcc-3.2.3-20 (excepr glibc, which needs
  later gcc to build).

Another thing worth mentioning, is that 

- I've kept the libunwind OUT of the building env

Which i may or may not regret later, but that's later. I had to install
libunwind when compiling the gdb update. It's requirement. I eded up
crashing the machine every time (diff. sets of
elfutils+binutils+gcc+glibc) every time i tried, until i just 'uliited
it's env to make it compile'. More like the test phase failed, but
anyway it's build with 'ulimited env' and don't know if that is even
working properly.

This release is including (at least supposed if i didn't make any
mistakes) all the updates up to the date released except this
kernel-utils update which got out today. Even that is available thru
updates channel with yum.

As ususally, it's 'as-is' and the support is restricted to binary
updates. If you need Enterprise Support, you go buy this from nice
people of Redhat who are doing it for living.

There are community mailing list at http://www.taolinux.org/ or you may
pop in #taolinux @ freenode IRC to ask questions, but no guarantee for
support there either.

The release is located @ 

ftp://dist.taolinux.org/pub/tao-1.0-ia64/isos/

The MD5SUMS is singned with my key and MD5SUMS are verified every time
the mooch-u2-all-ia64-DVD.iso is moved thru some media.

It's released only as DVD-image. I haven't seen a Itanium2-box w/o
DVD-drive and DVD-burners are cheap.
