Fwd: [K12OSN]$$$$$ Converting a distro into K12LTSP $$$$$

[Peter Hartmann]

Hey List,
I'm trying to install 4.2.1EL on top of Centos4 x86_64 using the AMD64
install page in the wiki.  But when I run the yum install k12ltsp-core
k12ltsp-extras k12ltsp-utils k12ltsp-education,  I get a strange
output.

Transaction Check Error:   file
usr/share/gnome-about/gnome-version.xml from install of
gnome-desktop-2.8.0-3.centos4 conflicts with file from package
gnome-desktop-2.8.0-3.centos4
  file /etc/mime-magic.dat from install of gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-44.1
conflicts with file from package gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-44.1

There the same packages!  Any ideas?

Thank you,
Peter

Eric,
I decided to give Centos4 x86_64 a shot.  After yum install
k12ltsp-core k12ltsp-extras k12ltsp-utils k12ltsp-education  I get
conflicts from seemingly identical packages.  What should I do?

Thanks,
Peter
