Ok, I got things working. I had missed a little piece of the entry in
/etc/redhat-release.
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (taroon)" is what is in there now
as well as in
/etc/issue and /etc/issue.net. I will revert back as soon as I get one
issue taken care of
but the above is correct. I am not sure if "(taroon)" is required for
other things but it
doesn't appear to be with the HP stuff.
