Meher,

Has the installation process improved?  When we tried VxVM on RHEL 2.1,
it would only install with the stock kernel, not with any of the errata
kernels.  You had to "trick" the Veritas installation script to install
on later kernels  :(  Why aren't native RPMs supplied?  You provide
Solaris pkgadd format on the Solaris platform.

Thanks.
