Hmm. I am *not* an expert on the RedHat installer, but what's in packages.rpm?
And how about nameindex.rpm?

I expect we'll get a little help once people get settled after MacWorld. Which
reminds me, I was hoping I could get a list of the various people working on
R5 and what they're doing. Just curious, plus it would make it easy to have a
dialogue with the person(s) working on the RedHat installer.
