My thinking exactly! Messing with this now is cheaper than re-writting
code, if it works.

The Caldera distro was originally based on RedHat and still has a *lot* of
RedHatisms in it. However, RedHat rpms don't quite work on the Caldera
directory structure. MHSC takes Caldera as a base-line and adds in a *ton*
of stuff to build our Linux Enterprise Server (LES). It's kind of like
turning a Lotus into a Peterbuilt , or Cosworth building truck engines <grin>.

I'd appreaciate a file-attached tar.gz lacking that a URL of where to fetch
it from would be greatly appreciated. Where do I send the pizza?
