Slinky has been updated for Red Hat 9.
It took a bit longer than expected, as the new glibc and the statically
linked rpm binary the installer uses didn't get along. The solution I
settled on was to rebuild the rpm-4.1-9 package on a Red Hat 9 system. I
had to set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 before compiling to get a build that
would work in the installer environment.
The old version worked fine until it installed the glibc package, then it
began segfaulting on every transaction. Since glibc is the fifth package
installed, this wasn't at all useful. ;)
I haven't yet found a way to build rpm-4.2.x and link it statically. Red
Hat no longer provides the static binary either. (Previously, the rpm
binary was statically linked.)
Red Hat again did not include an i386 kernel package, nor did they release
one for the updated kernel. I've built one, using the stock
kernel${version}.src.rpm, and it is included in the .iso as
/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-2.4.20-8RULE.i386.rpm
I have tested a Red Hat Linux 9 install, however, I haven't tested to see
if the new rpm will play nice with older releases. That's a project for
another evening.
Anyway, for the brave...
