For your convenience any file that may be required during 
installation of Sorcerer is in this single directory.
Please do not download all the files in this directory.

Installing Sorcerer requires only 2 CDs.
The first  CD is the architecture specific bootable CD.
The second CD contains source tarballs that can
be compiled during installation.

The steps prior to invoking
the menu driven installer are:

1.  Download both CD images
2.  Uncompress both CD images
3.  Write each CD image to a separate CD
4.  Boot the architecture specific bootable CD

An ISO9660 is a CD image ready to write to a CD.
A file with the extention iso9660.7z is a p7zip compressed
CD image file that must be decompressed before writing to a CD.

p7zip is available from http://p7zip.sourceforge.net.
Modern distributions of software already include p7zip
since it provides excellent compression savings.
The p7zip executable's filename is 7za.

While a full p7zip compressed ISO9660 image
can be downloaded directly from the webserver
a BitTorrent for the p7zip compressed ISO9660 and
a p7zip compressed sdelta3 update patch
are also available for download.

If no BitTorrents clients are currently file sharing
the Sorcerer's p7zip compressed ISO9660s
then the BitTorrent method of download may take forever.
However, when those files are being shared
the transfer might progress faster than downloading
directly from the web server.

The fastest method for acquiring new Sorcerer ISO9660s
is to download the p7zip compressed sdelta3 update patches.
Then, decompress the patches.
Finally, apply the decompressed patch to an uncompressed
previously downloaded Sorcerer ISO9660s.
The newly generated image will be ready to write to CD.

Lastly, there are two additional types of files not described above.
Neither are required for installing Sorcerer.
Files ending with .manifest provide more detailed information
about what is available on the ISO9660.
Files ending with .md5sum can be used to check the
uncompressed CD image prior to writing to a CD is correct.
