Really ( At least for 98% of the work.) The beta tree is here (binary and source files): ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/beta/ You will also find the fedora 12 binary and source files necessary: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/12/Fedora/ http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/12/ We (CentOS Project) need to perform lots of things on files that we would "Distribute". (Trademark stripping, etc.). We will not distribute our working files to try can get CentOS 6 built, as we have not and do not intend to perform the actions on them which would allow us to release them. That would mean rebuilding and vetting not only CentOS-6 but all those other trees too. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
