But RPMs for SuSE wouldn't be guaranteed to work on RH and Caldera. There are enough subtle file system layout differences that RPMs are intentionally built for a specific distribution. At one time; there were PAM related bugs that tended to affect only RH because it was the only distro that used PAM. They are different, period. It's more than skin deep.

TTYL! Caldera also includes a graphical installer (Lizard). RH OTOH has a text based one as well as DiskDruid or whatever it's called. CheapBytes and the "official" distribution have the same installer. - alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
