Hi John,<br>
<br>
I'm just installing Alma 9 now to do that tweak for you.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<p>The installer is happy to work with Red Hat, CentOS, and Rocky.
It won't proceed when it finds Alma. Red Hat/Rocky/Alma should
be binary-compatible, so I just tweaked a file so the installer
was convinced I was running Rocky:</p>
<p><font face="monospace">echo "RockyLinux release 8.10 (Green
Obsidian)" > /etc/rockylinux-release<br>
rm -f /etc/redhat-release && ln -s
/etc/rockylinux-release /etc/redhat-release</font> <br>
</p>
<p>When the installation was complete, I switched it back</p>
<p><font face="monospace">rm -f /etc/redhat-release && ln
-s /etc/almalinux-release /etc/redhat-release</font></p>
<p>Can we get the installer logic adjusted so it will directly
handle Alma ?<br>

Do things because you should, not just because you can.

'Alice doesn't trust Bob.
Now most people in Alice's position would give up.
Not Alice. She has courage which can only be described as awesome.
Against all odds, over a noisy telephone line, tapped by the tax
authorities and the secret police, Alice will happily attempt,
with someone she doesn't trust, whom she can't hear clearly, and
who is probably someone else, to fiddle her tax return and to
organise a coup d'etat, while at the same time minimising the cost
of the phone call.'
