You can also install using the following, but keep in mind Cisco will
tell you that your installation is not supported if you ever have troubles:

./installer.bin -DCHECK_OS=false

We have a still open TAC case with them trying to define what a RH ES
5.0 system is by their standards as if you update the box it upgrades to
5.2 (which is unsupported).  Naturally we want to update, but policies
here say we can't negate support.  We know which package will prevent
the text files from updating this information, but we would only
"technically" have a 5.0 box then as all the binaries are still the same
as a 5.2 box.
