I am pretty sure that they are shell scripts and they are looking for strings in /etc/redhat-release
Can someone with RHEL post a real /etc/redhat-release for us too look at.
IMHO, CentOS should provide a RedHat looking redhat-release and a centos specific centos-release.

I am trying to install the HP PSP on a CentOS 3.4 server but it keeps telling me, only on certain rpms mind you, that the OS is not supported.

Better yet, has anyone managed to get the Linux PSP to install on a CentOS box?
almost certainly it is looking for certain strings which it is not finding. strace is your friend
