Subject: Why is RH including a developers version? (Was: very little runs -
inc pkzip)

> That's ok. Honest! :-) You're (probably) using a developers version of
dosemu. Redhat made an error (or misjudgment) in including a devolopers
version in their 6.0 release. Developers versions can be fun to play with
but the intended audience is developers. Goto http://www.dosemu.org/
>
> Checking their (RH's) ftp site I can see that they are still including a
developers release in RH6.1 (dosemu-0.99.13). Why they insist on this is
beyond me.
>
> Quoting the dosemu homepage:
>
> "The Developers version of DOSEMU are used to test new features and new
ideas. As such they can be very unstable. The current Developers version is
dosemu-0.99.13."
>
> I think it would be fair to let the dosemu team decide what's for the
general public and what's not.

> The current Stable version is dosemu-0.98.8 and can be found at:
>
> ftp://ftp.dosemu.org/pub/dosemu/dosemu-0.98.8-1.i386.rpm
>
> (I'm assuming you prefer a .rpm-archive.)
>
> If you've bought your RH distro from a redhat distributor I suggest you
send them an email, asking for support. Their support is fairly good and
it's about time they start fending of some of the questions they initiated
by including a developers version.
