Re: [microblaze-uclinux] EDK 7.1 under cygwin

[John Kent <jekent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Wade,

I downloaded and installed CentOS 4.3, after much messing around with 
Nero and many reject disks. I then tried to install EDK 7.1 however EDK 
complained that some of the libraries were too recent, ie CentOS 4.3 had 
libcurl.so.3 when it was looking for libcurl.so.2. CentOS 4.3 would not 
allow me to install the older libraries.

I believe EDK 7.1 is designed for RHEL 3.0. I assume I should be using 
CentOS 3.7.
Could you please confirm that before I try burning and installing new CDs ?

I found the /etc/issue file. I assume I need to change the contents to 
make it look like RHEL 3.0.
Can you tell me what string I should be using, or do I need to delve 
through all the Makefiles ?

Thanks

John.
