    99== Current Status ==
    10 The current code is providing most of the features of RPM and YUM. While RPM can be run from any drive, the YUM code still needs to be executed from your UNIXROOT disk (python requires more fixes).
     10The current binaries are providing most of the features of RPM and YUM. Now only a few minor features are missing.

     22The bootstrap installation is now available for general use, you can download the WarpIN installer from

    26 Unpack the zip file somewhere and start the ''live.cmd'' script. It will install RPM and YUM code into your UNIXROOT drive.
     26WarpIN will install a bootstrap package, which requires a working internet connection to download and install all required packages. Once completed, you can safely remove the WarpIN bootstrap package without erasing the newly installed code.
    2727
    28 This is a live YUM distribution, it will be able to download and install itself from a remote repository.
     28Also be sure to use a drive with enough free space to support installation of future packages.

    30 After installation, you need to adjust your CONFIG.SYS to have:
     30== Repositories ==
     31Netlabs.org is now hosting two repositories, one for experimental stuffs and the other for stable releases. It is recommended to use only the Release package for most users.

    32  * UNIXROOT variable defined
    33  * x:\usr\bin added to PATH
    34  * x:\usr\lib added to LIBPATH
     33=== Stable repository ===
     34Stable repository configuration can be installed using (this is automatically done by bootstrap package)
    3535
    36 Be aware that current script does not check environment, it is only meant to be used for testing the code.
    37 Also RPM will overwrite all required files into your x:\usr and x:\var trees, so please backup your data before installing.
     36 * yum install netlabs-rel
    3837
    39 While UNIXROOT can be defined to be a full path on your hd, it is suggested to use only a drive reference in it, to avoid compatibility problems.
     38If you cannot install above package, download this [http://rpm.netlabs.org/bootstrap/netlabs-rel.repo file] and put it into %UNIXROOT%\etc\yum\repos.d directory.
    4039
    41 Also be sure to select a drive with enough free space to support installation of future packages.
     40It is possible to browse the stable repository URL at the following URL:
    4241
    43 Python 2.6.5, libxml2, glib2, sqlite3 will also be installed as part of YUM requirements.

    45 == Repository ==
    46 A test repository is being setup at http://rpm.netlabs.org, at the following URL
     44=== Experimental repository ===
     45Experimental repository configuration can be installed using
     46
     47 * yum install netlabs-exp
     48
     49If you cannot install above package, download this [http://rpm.netlabs.org/bootstrap/netlabs-exp.repo file] and put it into %UNIXROOT%\etc\yum\repos.d directory.
     50
     51It is possible to browse the experimental repository URL at the following URL:

    4853[http://rpm.netlabs.org/experimental/00/i386/ http://rpm.netlabs.org/experimental/00/i386/]
    4954
    50 We will provide a package to automatically install this repository, meanwhile create a file ''x:/etc/yum/repos.d/netlabs-exp.repo'' with following content:
    51 
    52 {{{
    53 [netlabs-exp-00]
    54 name=Netlabs experimental repository $releasever - $basearch
    55 baseurl=http://rpm.netlabs.org/experimental/00/$basearch/
    56 enabled=1
    57 }}}
    58 
    59 or download this [http://rpm.netlabs.org/bootstrap/netlabs-exp.repo file].
    60 
    61 While the packages are supposed to work, do not expect them to be free from bugs, also the layout is not final.
