OSMA 5 on Fedora Core 4

[Robert Ham]

Michael,

Actually, I'm not running it.  The RPM seems to be trying to decide whether my computer is worthy enough to have its files installed on, rather than just installing the files.  What I would like to know is: why is it doing this?  I don't understand how the fact that the software will not do anything useful on my particular hardware has resulted in an RPM which throws up an error when there is no problem installing the RPM into the filesystem.  That's the purpose of the RPM; not to try and determine whether the software in it will work.  The software will do that itself.  There's no logic to this, unless I'm missing something.  Am I missing something?

Robert

You are running OMSA on a machine that this software was not designed or
tested to run on.
