EL-4 and EL-5 were cut from pre-releases of FC3 and FC6... not mid/end-life versions. Fixes in final FC3/6 were pushed upstream and vice versa but the 2 diverged in a yellow wood at least a month before FC3 or 6 were released. So by the time FC3 and 6 were released EL-4 and EL-5 was already set in stone. You can get FC3/6 stuff to work on an EL-4/5 box but only to an extent. -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- CSIRT/Linux System Administrator How far that little candle throws his beams!
