Hi All, I wish to install bacula 2.0.0 on my el4 system. I just have a question... What is the difference between the "rpms" and "rpms-contrib-fschwarz" links at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=50727 ? Is there a reason why these links are separated? Basically, which is the recommended link for downloading bacula 2.0.0 el4 rpms? If "rpms" is the answer, then when will the el4 rpms appear there? Thx, Mike
