I know what you are asking, but even though TSL 1.01 resembled a couple of versions of redhat, TSL has changed a lot from RH after that, both regarding what libraries is included, how they are compiled, and also file and directory placement. The thing is that any given version of TSL does NOT resemble any specific version of RH, nor Fedora. Let me give an example: In TSL 3.0 you have a library called libfoo version 1.2.3, which is also found in, say, fedora core 3, same version. In TSL 3.0 you also have have a library called libbar version 3.2.1, which is also found in, say, fedora core 5, while fedora core 3 has version 2.1.0. So if your package is linked with libfoo, you should select the one from FC3 when installing on TSL. And while it's possible that will work, you have no guarantees. :) However, if your package is linked with libbar, you should select the one linked to version 3.2.1, which is originally built for FC5. Still no guarantees. And if your package is linked with both libfoo and libbar, then you're screwed unless you find a FC version that uses the same versions of both libraries as TSL 3.0 The point is that there is no single version of FC or RH or any other distribution that exactly matches TSL 3.0 on library versions, compilation or file placement. You just need to download some and try them. Different versions of FC fit better with different software. Bastille configuration files must also be tuned a bit. I don't know of any FC version that looks like TSL on file placement either, so you just have to take one and do all the changes manually. c -- Christian Haugan Toldnes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
