I read on the list here not to long ago a work around for the following error on CentOS for installing the scalix mail server…

Error: unsupported OS release: CentOS release 4.2 (Final) on x86_64

Someone posted a fix where you could edit a file changing the name of the OS or something to fix this. Anyone remember which file it was I could edit and what I needed to edit it too in order to make this install work?

It was probably to change /etc/redhat-release to read...

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant)

Backup /etc/redhat-release...

cp /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release.`date -I`

Then edit it and add the string above, install your package and then switch back.

Will.
