Well, the problem is not so much that they name the packages differently
and package things  maybe differently (which could result in failed deps),
but the problem seems to be that they install stuff into different
directories. (At least nowadays they use libc6).

The Binary RPMs from RH 5.2 work, but it's a hassle to get them to that
point. I have the CVS code now, but imlib doesn't like me.
