ianw1974 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I've noticed they've disappeared off a lot of mirrors. I too have noticed for Polish mirrors I used to connect to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 IIRC, there were supposed to be updates available for 18 months. This support-time must have expired in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv'e noticed it to and it makes me not happy, i can't use 2007(1) because of my w-lan on my IBM R31. So i'll wait for 2008 and the new kernel.

jkerr82508 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 IIRC, there were supposed to be updates available for 18 months. This support-time must have expired in June. 2006 was released early in October 2005. The last official update was in April 2007.

willie Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 IIRC, there were supposed to be updates available for 18 months. This support-time must have expired in June. Wasn't that for normal updates and not for security updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 if you update you can keep the old kernel.... Wouldn't that cause any problems, Spring with a 2.6.12-12 kernel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 don't know :mellow: i believe the kernel didnt change much from 2.6.12->2.6.17 unlike with .18 and .21.... I did use 2.6.14-mm from 2006 contrib with spring and 2007 though very succesfully, was the only kernel working for me for quite a while. Btw Adam said to upgrade one version only (ie. 2006->2007->spring) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 i can't use 2007(1) because of my w-lan on my IBM R31. What is the model (chipset) of your wireless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Update lifecycle for main line releases is twelve months for 'desktop' and eighteen months for 'base'. The distinction is, to be honest, not written down clearly anywhere, but consider really core components to be 'base' - stuff without which you can't possibly use the system - and everything else to be 'desktop'. So yes, 2006 is now out of support. Currently supported releases are 2007 and 2007 Spring. I haven't tried using kernel-2.6.12 on 2007 or 2007 Spring. I suspect there may be issues with some things, such as udev and dbus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 What is the model (chipset) of your wireless? Broadcom 4306, but i think it's the combination kernel and TI-CardBus bridge ( PCI1410), iv'e send in a bug report and it was accepted as a bug. That's why i wait voor 2008 with the 2.6.18 kernel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
