Thanks Fernando. The images are, to put it politely, not quite ready
for prime time.
I tried installing them on a working FC3 system (same box also runs FC1
PlanetCCRMA). It wasn't bad getting apt going, and it appeared that the
core installed ok also. On reboot, ALSA couldn't locate the soundcard.
After futzing around with it for a couple of hours, the only way I could
get it to work is to add the modprobe for the soundcard driver to
rc.local. Same driver . . . it won't load while the system is booting
(returns an error 1394 soundcard not found), but loads just fine and
works from rc.local . . . ??? Otherwise, the new low latency kernel
seems ok and the patch is activated.
Anyway, I installed the FC3 system entirely from CDs and it's not on the
network. There are some unmet dependencies when trying to install the
Planet aps. It reports that soundjuicer and swami are required (they
are both on the aps CD), but further down the list the dependencies are
libgnome.so.32, libgnomesupport.so.0, and libgnomeui.so.32. Even on my
networked up-to-date FC3 machine, I get a "no package provides . . . "
for each of these when I query the rpm database. So, that's the testing
so far. Not possible to get any further.

and all the people working for the planetccrma software.
I'm using it on a few machines (RH9) with great success.
Now I've got a new machine and installed FC3 (from the planetccrma
FC3 ISO images)
As I have only a slow modem internet access from the new machine,
it's too heavy to install planetccrma over this connection.
So it would be fine if I could download the planetccrma software
ISO images (snapshots).
When will the snapshots be available for FC2 or FC3 ?
I would not mind if some of the packages were "unstable" or "edge"...

Ok, so today I rebuilt (in a hurry) the scripts to create new images,
but there are a couple of problems. One is that the images themselves
are not tested (except to verify that they are recognized by "apt-cdrom
add" on a fc3 test machine, and that I can install a couple of packages
from one of them). That is, I have not made a test install from cdrom
only (nor written the instructions :-). If you still try to use them
BEWARE, the default mount point in apt is /mnt/cdrom which is not going
to be there in fc3, make a link or change the option in apt.conf.
Another potential problem is I did not yet make an image for the updates
from Fedora Core, that may or not be a problem, depending on whether the
updates impact the Planet CCRMA packages... (I suspect not, but I'm not
sure as I have not done a test install from the cdroms only).
