[c-nsp] WCS on CentOS?

[Loughlin, Daniel J.]

I'm not sure if this will help, but try altering your
/etc/redhat-release (yes, centos has such a thing) file to say redhat
version 5 instead of centos version 5 before you install the WCS and see
if you can trick it into installing.  Change it back to Centos, when you
are done installing it.

I'm not sure about the exact text that goes in a Redhat 5.x
/etc/redhat-release.  You can look on a redhat 5.x box for an example...

Good luck,
-Danny

Subject: [c-nsp] WCS on CentOS?

Currently, my Wireless Control System is running on an upgraded WLSE
box that runs RHEL 4 (which came with the WLSE->WCS conversion) and
version 5.0.56 of the WCS software.  I'd like to move to the latest
version but it requires RHEL 5.  I don't have any RHEL licenses
otherwise as I use CentOS for my server OS.  WCS detects that I'm
running CentOS and not RHEL and won't install.  Is there any way that
I can work around that?  Failing that is there a way that I can
upgrade the old RHEL 4 install?
