I remember when we discussed this previously, we wanted to be able to allow the user to say well CentOS is similar to RHEL4, and since RHEL4 is supported, then CentOS should work too... how should we handle these cases? Would the user be required to write a .pm file for the framework? > 1. There is no Mandrake.pm module to recognize Mandrake distro's. > 2.

I ask because generic-setup recognizes it, and I > effectively took that support out) Red Hat Linux 9 is no longer supported, and I think when we support FC4, FC2 should be dropped as well.
