[Nautilus-list] PR2 & Installer on Mandrake or Red Hat 6.0

[eskil eazel com]

Oy...

As you may have noted, the installer fails on
Mandrake and Red Hat 6.0 systems with the
a message about "can not download nautilus-
suggested".

The issue is, that the installer asks software
catalog for a package for "distro=Mandrake",
and the software catalog has no packages
for mandrake. The same goes for redhat60.

So till we beat software catalog into submission,
you can trick the installer into thinking that it's
on a Red Hat 6.2.

For Red Hat 6.0 :
mv /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release.org
echo "Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot)" > /etc/redhat-release
<run the installer>
mv /etc/redhat-release.org /etc/redhat-release

For Mandrake :
mv /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release.org
<run the installer>
mv /etc/redhat-release.org /etc/redhat-release

I'll email again when softcat has been slapped.
