Loading Hard Hat 2.0

Loading Hard Hat 2.0

[clark]

Hello All,

	I have a few questions about Hard Hat.

	Has anybody loaded Hard Hat 2.0 Linux Journeyman edition on Red Hat 7.1
yet? I know its been asked before, but I was wondering if the answer has
changed from no.

	Is there an easy way to install Hard Hat 2.0 without removing my 1.0 install?

	Is there a Hard Hat specific mailing list?


Many Many thanks,

	Conn Clark

RedHat 7.1 is not a supported target.  See below.

Normally, yes.  But, I _think_ the main reason RedHat 7.1 isn't supported
is that the version of RPM shipped by default does NOT support relocation,
so you can't install HHL 2.0 into another subdir and have 1.x and 2.0
co-exist.

If relocation is not a big deal, you can either fake out our installer
or install by hand (use rpm).

To fake out the installer I think you just change /etc/redhat-release to
7.0 instead 7.1.  Of course, change it back once the install finishes:)

We installed the Hard Hat 2.0 Professional
version on Red Hat 7.1. There is a minor
install script problem. It checks the version
number in file /etc/redhat-release to decide how
to install. Change 7.1 to 7.0 and then run the
installation script.

I don't know about installing both 1.x and 2.0
on the same machine.

That's the workaround.  It should be fine, provided you don't want
to keep HHL1.2 and HHL2.0 around at the same time, using the official
method.
