Subject: generate skel from redhat RPM.
> Dear,
>
> Why not generate the skel from redhat RPM package file, that's is simple
for system admin to plan what software should be provide for client. And it
is more easy to upgrade if Redhat have a new vision or software install
directory have changed. I've try to generate the skel from redhat RPM file
which follow the install.log in /tmp when fresh installing the redhat 7. And
found that that's is able for freevsd to working properly. And found that
the directory size for the skel is much more small then generate the skel
from a working host which already have lots of software installed.

> 4) edit the vsd-genskel.pl to remove /sbin, /bin, /etc and have it copy
those file from the host system which state in freevsd.conf. The only
directory which I didn't change is /usr/sbin directory, because I'm new to
unix, and don't know what necessary file is require, so I didn't touch that
directory, If some one know please let me know.

to the skel directory.

> Some of the above step maybe less or more, but I'm sure the freevsd is
working from the above skel. And I also have frontpage extension working
properly.

> 2) I found that pine is not working properly, it seems that it cannot load
one of the krb5 library file, but the file is there(in /usr/lib/krb5/lib),
where is the library search path for freevsd, don't know whether if add the
path to the search path to see pine working or not.

which file I should remain in /usr/bin directory.
