perfect, thanks, that did it ... just curious, but would the followign
dependencies make sense to add into linux_base?
/compat/linux/bin/rpm -i lgtoclnt-rh-5.1.0-2.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
libncurses.so.3.0 is needed by lgtoclnt-rh-5.1.0-2
cpio is needed by lgtoclnt-rh-5.1.0-2
I'm going to try and see if I can find copies of them somewhere, but just
a thought ...
