[Centos] CentOS-4.0 (RC1) for ia64 Official Release

The CentOS team is happy to announce the availability of CentOS-4.0
(RC1) for ia64. This product supports Intel Itanium2. Installation is
tested only on HP rx2600, by me.

A bittorent for CD binary iso files is available from: 
http://beta.centos.org/centos/4.0beta/isos/ia64/centos-4.0-rc1-ia64-bin.DVD.torrent

The only way to download ISO's is via bittorrent. Please leave your 
download client running after the download is complete (with
ports 6881-6889 open) as your client will become part of the peer to
peer bittorrent network and reduce the load on our network mirrors.  If
you need some quick pointers for getting up to speed on bittorrent

---------------------

NOTE:  This is a Release Candidate distribution build and may not be 
suitable for use in production environments. We encourage you to provide 
feedback on this build via the Mailing Lists.

However, any errors or bugs you encounter should be reported to us via 
bugzilla on http://www.centos.org/bugs 

---------------------

RC1 - Expected life span is 14 days from Release. Within this time period 
we expect to move to a Final Release. Unless there are any urgent security 
issues, there will be no package update provided for RC1.

---------------------

Known Issues include a problem with the serial console installation. I
have not found the right combination to be able to install any 4-based
version to rx1600 w/ only ttyS0. Will keep looking for this later.
