Thanks for your reply, Greg... I certainly didn't mean to upset you
<smile>.

As of the time I made the post you're replying to, I hadn't seen any
explanation from you as to when you should or could use those
libraries.  Perhaps I missed them.  As you know I was very busy fixing
hacked RaQs.

The problem is we're working for customers who often have no idea what
their box is doing or what it needs.  They expect me to magically know.

Thanks for the information.  I didn't look through your RPMs, I merely
tried to install them.  I still don't know why they installed fine on a
RaQ4i (no raid, no SolarSpeed Security Package) but not on any of the
other RaQ4 systems I tried them on (all but one with raid, all with the
SolarSpeed Security Package).  But... the SolarSpeed Security Package
doesn't seem to have anything to do with it.
