Thanks DongInn, Geoffroy and Erich,
I would love to help port the OSCAR trunkn version(5.1) to RHEL by
testing/debugging.
My efforts in tinkering with OS_Detect.pm went in vain, as I don't fully
understand why it detects the distro as both -- "redhat-el-server-5-i386'
and 'redhat-el-5Server-i386' at the same time.
I did somehow manage to make it run by tweaking the Smart Package manager by
changing the distro variable. I made the following change to the file -
PackageSmart.pm Line 74:
my $distros = "debian|fc|mdv|rhel|suse|redhat";
I know that's not a very smart way to do it, but hey that works! :)
Eric, My /etc/redhat-release file reads
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)
Thanks for the help,
Abhishek
