I did not tweak. If I need to do that, then the linuxulator is broken
:-)

I don't know anything about the RH release process. I do know that it's
quite normal for the RH distribution (or can I say Linux distributions
in general) to have multiple different rpms with the same name (grrr).

I don't know what has been changed, but I expect it to work "normally".

The 6.0 ports were never committed. They were downloadable from my
homepage (http://people.freebsd.org/~marcel/ as it is called now IIRC)
and may even still be downloadable. The 6.0 ports were at least as
broken as the RH distribution itself...
