That's why debian has a good package dependencies, just like freebsd
ports collection =), anyway the techniq here is to query all the package
from redhat cd using this command
% for i in /path/to/your/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/*.rpm
% do
% rpm -qpli $i >> /tmp/rpmdisk1.log
% done
then look at the rpmdisk1.log file and check the library what you're
looking fore =)
