Re: Problems with Redhat 9

Sorry, I have not tested RedHat9 at all. I am reluctant to install it on any
of my systems. 

Luckily the error you see is mostly likely caused by an bug in the config file 
update mechanism. If your config file has not been modified, delete it 
('rm /etc/grab/config'), and just restart grab with no options. This will 
recreate the config file for you.

You can actually see the error in the config file under 'rpm opts = '.

Good luck, and let us know if that worked...
