OpenVMS Hobbyist Program ie: VMS Licenses are Nolonger issued for VAX !

[babydr DBA James W. Laferriere]

 	Hello All ,  Maciej ,  Conversed with about the OpenVMS/VMS license 
difficutly .  Most of which I already knew .

 	I am still interested in at least testing any images of the vax-linux 
kernel that may be created .


 	To: Maciej ,  I still need and request the below .  Tia

 	I have (as far as I am aware) all instances of linux-vax-*.rpm's .
 	my one concern is that there are MANY of simular name but lesser or 
different marked versioning .  Would you please either post a definitive list 
of the rpm's that are necessary for a running system ?
