dos2umix, and rpmfind.

[Edward L. Barnes]

Hi Mark.
As you probably likely already know from having installed operating 
systems in the past, the tools available to you after that operating 
system is installed will differ based upon the choices you made at the 
time of installation.
Of course, I'm asumming you have experience in this regard which I'm not 
sure if I should or not, nevertheless...
So, depending upon the choices you made during your Red Hat install will 
dictate whether the unix2dos and dos2unix packages are available to you.
For example, if you do a typical server install and install all the 
package groups listed with no customization you will not get dos2unix 
and unix2dos as a part of the deal, 
Of course, custom is most flexible and you'll get it if you select it , 
and you'd of course get both of them if you choose an "everything, 
custom install", sorry I'm not sure if one would get dos2unix and 
unix2dos with either the workstation install or the notebook install 
options respecti vely as I've never ever chosen either of those last 
two.
Btw, as you've probably already gathered by this note, dos2unix and 
unix2dos are included on the Red Hat cds, I believe they are on cd 1 of 
7.2, however; I don't know which of the three cds house dos2unix and 
unix2dos in the case of 7.3. 
Sorry for wrambling folks and best regards to all!
