The installer has a product check included, so a RaQ 4 PKG will not
install on any other system.

I don't think a "generic" sendmail will work on the RaQs.  Any RPM
with a "C" in the filename has been "Cobaltized" - changed in some way
(maybe minor, maybe major) to integrate better on the appliance.

I'd send an email to Michael Stauber at solarspeed and ask him very
very nicely to create an XTR PKG when he has the time... Maybe an
offer of a couple of bucks wouldn't hurt to speed him along either...
