Re: OpenSSI for CentOS 4

I didn't receive the old port from JH in time, so I finished porting
the userspace from scratch and as usual on my spare time.  It compiles
clean on CentOS 4; just haven't installed yet.  Some special attention
had to be given to deal with the syscall numbers from later kernels
(that were back-ported) I'm sure you've ran into while forward porting
to CentOS 5.

I don't plan on porting to RHEL4's kernel until 2.0 milestone.
