I was using your post on building a custom OSRCD.

This CD I'm working on here while I have a couple of backup RaQ's
available, will allow me to test anything you want if you'd like some
help. And I'd be interested in producing such a CD for myself. If you
have the knowledge of where things need to go, I can get things tracked
down, made and burned. Are you just doing trial and error like I'm
mottling here with the packages? I am in and out of these files 10 times
a day right now trying to get the perfect load as up to date as
possible. It seems some packages will 'Test: FAILED' and discontinue
loading. The RaQ comes up and you can usually define what package caused
the problem and omit it on the next run. Does anyone know if certain
packages can be loaded using a custom OSRCD? Or any of the packages you
see at this address:

  ftp://webtent.org/pub/software/linux/Cobalt/packages/

The CA packages are the ones I'm currently having a problem with or the
chkrootkit in my CD project folder. I am getting the 'Test: FAILED'
message when trying to use one of them, haven't narrowed it down now,
has anyone tried? Knows? The packages I am trying to use for the CD are
located at:

  ftp://webtent.org/pub/software/linux/Cobalt/packages/OSRCD/RaQ4/

I am also trying to work a bug out of a Apache 1.3.27 upgrade script
found here on the list, just tried it for the first time and now have a
problem starting httpd, ahttpd is fine. Bruce, do you know of an Apache
upgrade that can be built-in to the OSRCD?
