Hi During my install of 4.7-RELEASE I selected Linux compatibility. I saw a message saying that it was istalling 6.1_3. I was surprised, and a little bit miffed, because 4.7 was supposed to have upgraded Linux compatibility to 7.1. After the install, I checked on what packages where installed and I saw linux_base-6.1_3 *AND* linux_base-7.1_1! Now I am confused. Are there actually two packages? I would have thought that 7.1 would be backward compatible, so a 6.1 would not be necessary. Is that not the case? Can anyone explain, and maybe shed some further light on this? Thanks!
