Re: SSI and CentOS4. Is that possible?

Hello there,
I was able to install openssi 1.9.2 for FC3 on CentOS 4.4

Here is what I did...

1. Run "install" scripts. It will surely give you a lot of prompts since you
are not on FC3.
Just answer Yes or "Force Install" to all of them.

2. You will probably fail the installation process at the end - scripts will
try to install some ssi-modified packages (e.g. mkinitrd, etc.) but some of
them will fail to be installed because of dependencies and version problems
(that's because since you are not on FC3.)

3. Now, write down the name of those packages and try to install one by one
manually. You can do so by
cd [where your openssi src is]/RPMS/ssi
for (every package you need to install) {
  rpm -Uvh --nodeps [package you want to install.rpm]
}
NOTE : I had to install (i) initscripts, (ii) mkinitrd, and (iii) pam

4. Now, you need to install kernel
cd [where your openssi src is]/RPMS
rpm -Uvh --nodeps [openssi-kerenl rpm]

5. Lastly, you have to create a new ssi kernel image.
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package -kernel-smp --mkinitrd-cfs --depmod --install
2.6.10-ssi_3develsmp

Hopefully this will work out for you.

I haven't tested many things with this set-up, but it seems to give me more
warnings than the one installed on FC3. I will keep you updated if I find
anything strange.

Cheers!
