I'm not sure if this is a bug, known issue, feature, etc.  On my  
CentOS systems with the PAE kernel installed, package-cleanup behaves  
as follows:

   # rpm -q kernel
   package kernel is not installed
   # rpm -q kernel-PAE
   kernel-PAE-2.6.18-92.1.13.el5
   kernel-PAE-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5
   kernel-PAE-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5
   # uname -r
   2.6.18-92.1.22.el5PAE
   # package-cleanup --oldkernels --count 2
   Setting up yum
   Error all kernel rpms are set to be removed

Has anyone else seen this?  Is this expected behavior or a (known) bug?

Oops, I guess I didn't read far enough down on the GettingStarted  
page.  Thanks for pointing that out (I say with a red face).

I'm trying to install Review Board (http://review-board.org) with
python-setup tools and "sudo easy_install ReviewBoard", but this  
fails as follows:

(Currently using setuptools 0.6c5 (/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages))
error: Setup script exited with 2

Unfortunately, the python-setuptools for CentOS 5 is version  
0.6c5-2.  I already have python-imaging-1.1.5-5 installed, but the  
configuration is trying to install PIL 1.1.6.  I've never used  
easy_install/python-setuptools before (I'd never heard of it until I  
read the installation instructions for Review Board), so I don't know  
if it's possible to modify the configuration files to use PIL 1.1.5.   
Or if there is another/better way to install Review Board.  So before  
I re-invent the wheel, has anyone else successfully installed Review  
Board on CentOS 5 and is willing to share their experience?

Thanks,
Alfred

Thanks,

Has anyone seen these issues?  Is anybody using firstboot (or care  
about it)?  If there is there a better forum where I can go for  
firstboot questions, please let me know.  Ideally, I would like the  
upstream provider to acknowledge this issue and include a fix in the  
next update release, but how can I best make that happen?
