I would not touch the /etc/redhat-release file. That can cause side effects. The tools (EDA - like Cadence IC or HFSS, or otherwise) I've dealt with had a startup script that examined the /etc/redhat-release file. I simply looked at the case statement they had and added the appropriate case for a CentOS value. Respectfully, I've used hammers before - this is not a hammer. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
