No I have not managed to get the installation to work.
I have read and reread the installation information and am unable to get
everything to work as well as it does in 1.4.5
here is quickly what I am doing,
rpm -ivh freevsd-pkgs*.rpm
cd /usr/share/freevsd/pkgs
rpm -ivh openssl-0.9.5*.rpm
rpm -ivh openssl-devel*.rpm
I untar the source,
autoconf; autoheader
./configure --enable-addons --with-openssl
make install
vsd-install.pl
vsd-genskel.pl
then I try to make a create a host, and its pretty much all down hill from
there. I will be trying again tonight with a pre built skel on a Debian
base system.

Kevin Druet
