Re: Red-carpet on a P4 with Red Hat 6.2

I suspect you're right about the Red Hat 6.2 issue.  I have two ideas
that might work:

1) Upgrade to a newer version of Red Hat.  Probably not a bad idea,
since you're likely to run into other sorts of bitrot.
2) Make a hacked uname in a different directory.  This  should work:

#!/bin/bash
/bin/uname $@ | sed 's/i.86/i786/'

Put this in ~/bin/uname, make sure that ~/bin is in your path before
/bin when invoking Red Carpet (e.g. PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH red-carpet).
