[M3devel] CM3 on IA64?

[Mark Wickens]

Hi Jay,

I've downloaded and unpacked 

-rw-r--r-- 1 msw msw   276571 Oct  4 06:51 cm3-scripts-5.8.6-REL.tgz
-rw-r--r-- 1 msw msw 89649351 Oct  4 06:46 cm3-src-all-5.8.6-REL.tgz

(I assume the first is contained in the 2nd?) but I don't see the script
scripts/python/bootstrap.py anywhere.

You are welcome to ssh access, I'll just need to know when to leave the
box running.

Regards, Mark.
