[RULE] Re: Updated RULE RedHat 9

[C David Rigby]

Michael,
	Thanks for the last two messages.  Your slinky scripts are well-written 
and easy to follow, and I realized that I needed to adjust the details 
in the files in slinky_devel/DISK2/second_stage_scripts/9/.  You are 
correct - it's the dependencies between RPMs that makes me a bit crazy!

Regards,
CDRigby
