Ben,
Here's the output I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -qa | grep release centos-release-3.3-1 redhat-release-3AS-1
The "redhat-release-3AS-1" appears since I installed that RPM compiled from the Red Hat source RPM.
Also, here's the content of the centos-release-3.3-1 rpm:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] CentOSrpm]# rpm -qpl centos-release-3.3-1.i386.rpm warning: centos-release-3.3-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 025e513b /etc/issue /etc/issue.net /etc/redhat-release /usr/share/doc/centos-release-3.3 /usr/share/doc/centos-release-3.3/GPL /usr/share/doc/centos-release-3.3/README-Accessibility /usr/share/doc/centos-release-3.3/README-i386 /usr/share/doc/centos-release-3.3/RELEASE-NOTES-i386-en.html /usr/share/doc/centos-release-3.3/RPM-GPG-KEY /usr/share/doc/centos-release-3.3/autorun-template /var/lib/supportinfo
And here's the actual content of the /etc/issue, /etc/issue.net, and /etc/redhat-release (as contained in centos-release-3.3-1.i386.rpm):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] CentosOriginal]# cat issue CentOS release 3.3 (final) Kernel \r on an \m
[EMAIL PROTECTED] CentosOriginal]# cat issue.net CentOS release 3.3 (final) Kernel \r on an \m
[EMAIL PROTECTED] CentosOriginal]# cat redhat-release CentOS release 3.3 (final)
It seems the CentOS guys have simply replaced the "Red Hat" string with "CentOS".
Cheers, Cheeni

Hello,
Can you specify what the result of
rpm -qa | grep release is on CentOS-3.3 ?
Then, the content of /etc/centos-release or similar file would be appreciated. We will then be able to incorporate those changes into OSCAR (i.e. : make OSCAR believe that CentOS-3.3 is the same as RH3.0)
Ben * Srinivas R. Kadaba <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [04-10-21 12:53]:
Greetings all.
I had limited success installing OSCAR-3.0 on CentOS-3.3 (another free clone of RHEL 3, available at www.centos.org), and would like to share the tricks that worked.
1. Making OSCAR that it's RHEL running underneath: this turned out to be fairly easy. I downloaded the redhat-release source RPM from the Red Hat ftp site, and build it and installed it. This creates the appropriate /etc/redhat-release, /etc/issue, and /etc/issue.net files, in addition to some more files in /usr/share/doc. I am not sure of the /usr/share/doc files really matter.
2. The mysql-server package is not included with CentOS since RHEL does not include it - one has to get it from the RHEL Extras channel on Red Hat Network. So I downloaded the mysql source RPM for FC2, and built it. This created a set of mysql RPMs including mysql-server. I then installed these.
The installation of OSCAR now proceed smoothly upto starting up the oscar wizard. While selecting and installing the OSCAR server packages from the wizard, it complained about PVM not being installed and croaked. Well, PVM was installed. I haven't gone much further than that, but it seems quite possible to succeed from here.
Hope that helps. If anyone can guide me from here, I would appreciate it.
Thanks and regards, Cheeni

Whoops DepMan was called, and called another perl routine UpdateRPMs.pm. I added 'tao-linux' to the DISTROFILES perl variable and was able to grind ahead to the next error: 'DepMan: update-rpms failed: at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/OSCAR/DepMan.pm line 312.' Anyway I had a couple of days to get this to work, but it looks like there are too many places where it breaks so I'll go back to a given distro. (Unless you got ideas ;-).

I checked out the trunk from the SVN repo and tried installing it ( svn co svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/l/svn/oscar/trunk oscar). The install croaked, based on the linux version resolving to "Unknown" in /opt/oscar/lib/OSCAR/Distro.pm. I forced it to fedora v 2 by setting $name="fedora", and $version="2", but again the ./install_cluster eth0 script croaked with an "No usable concrete DepMan module" error message. Therefore I am guessing that between the ./autogen.sh, ./configure, and make install steps some part of the scripts are not creating a DepMan perl module.
Also after the ./configure step I noted that it complains about perl-Qt not installed. That is easily solvable by 'rpm -i perl-Qt...' but this is again asking for trouble since the install environment is again not correct. Any advice appreciated.

I suggest you check out the development code from SVN as that codebase works with Fedora Core 2 (And RHEL I believe).
It would definitely save you time if you choose an OS which OSCAR officially supports. With 3.0, they are RedHat 8.0, RedHat 9.0 and Mandrake 9.0. The SVN code should work with Fedora Core 2 (I am testing that at the moment, and it looks promising) and we hope to have a release very soon.
If you do decide to give the development code a try, please report back any issues you may have in the oscar-devel list.
Thanks,
Bernard

I am trying to install OSCAR 3.0 on Tao Linux (http://www.taolinux.org/). I went through the
basic commands './configure', 'make install', copying rpms to
/tftpboot/rpm, './install_cluster eth0'. The install_cluster fails
with oda.pm errors, so it is clear oda-1.24-1 is not installing. The
attached file TaoLinux_OSCAR_install_log.zip is the text of the
install session.
I am thinking that during configure, OS version switches are failing because Tao Linux is not one of the supported OSes. On the other hand, I am guessing that Tao Linux (free clone distro of RHEL 3.0) could be close enough to RedHat v.9 linux that if the appropriate pre-configure files are modified, I can get a good install of OSCAR. Any suggestions on how to succeed installing OSCAR onto Tao Linux? Thanks
- when building the OSCAR Client Image (Step 4 of the wizard), the
"Packages Directory" requires a sources.list file with a debootstrap line
appended. See the example sources.list in /oscarsamples for details.
