[Yast-users] problem installing yast on new oel4-U5 system

[Zhao Shujing]

hi, Phillip
Thanks for the information you provided. What caused that problem is the
rpm version of latest EL4 is different with the system we built yast-EM.

yast-EM has been rebuilt for both EL4U5 and EL4U6 now. 
You can get it from
http://oss.oracle.com/projects/yast/dist/files/el4/20070117/rpm/yast-EM-1.0.0-0.3.noarch.rpm
or get the all tar files from
http://oss.oracle.com/projects/yast/dist/files/el4/20070117/yast_el4_x86_32.tar

Thanks
Pearly Zhao
