Request: TriTeal CDE CD for Red Hat Linux 5.0

jheronimus

In 1997 TriTeal released a version of Common Desktop Environment for Red Hat Linux: https://www.eetimes.com/its-here-red-hats-triteal-cde-full-featured-unix-desktop-for-linux/

Unfortunately I can't find a CD image anywhere — does anybody, by chance, have it in their collection?

I have it, but unfortunately not where I am right now. I need to retrieve it from my parents' home. Depending on whether I can rip the CD-ROM remotely or need to get the physical medium, it may take a month until I can deliver. If anyone else has it earlier, please jump in.

@arnold_layne oh cool!

I managed to find separate RPMs (haven't tried them yet though), but no CD image, so I'd really appreciate if you manage to find it

I finally got hold of the CD-ROM. I uploaded it to the Internet Archive. Here's the link:

I also added scans of the front and back of the accompanying book and the installation instructions. I got it to run on SuSE Linux 7.3 where it still runs in a virtual machine.

Incredible, thank you!

Not only does it seem to have an installation script (those RPM files didn't, you had to do everything manually), but the booklet is also very helpful

Found the book that came with it https://archive.org/details/isbn_9781888172881
