This would be fine except that, after an upgrade from RHL 9,
redhat-config-packges still seems to think that RHL 9 is installed instead
of Fedora Core 0.94. That is, the packages and groups it lists as choices
to add are still those of RHL 9, including removed packages like LPRng.
(This also leads to things like package groups being listed as "not
installed" due to the removal of packages like libunicode-devel.)
This is due to the versioning of the comps package. RHL9's version is 9.0;
Fedora Core 0.94 has a comps version of 0.94. So rpm -Uvh --oldpackage comps
(it is on disc 1, IIRC) and it at least shows the right packages. However,
redhat-config-packages still won't work right for me; I insert disc 1 like it
wants and it doesn't recognize it as disc 1. Although redhat-config-packages
appears to still be a work-in-progress: no preferences are working, sources
is hardwired at ALL, etc.
