-<li><strong>How do I install the RPMs on a Redhat linux system?</strong>
-
-<P>The problem is that the default version of python for Redhat 7.x is
-1.5.x, and rdiff-backup requires python >= 2.2. Redhat/rawhide
-provides python 2.2 RPMs, but they are packaged under the "python2"
-name.
-
-<P>So, if you are running Redhat 7.x:
-
-<ol>
-<li>Make sure the python2 >= 2.2 package is installed,
-leaving python 1.5 the way it is
-<li>Install the rdiff-backup RPM, using --nodeps if it only complains
- about python 2.2 missing.
-<li>Edit the first line of /usr/bin/rdiff-backup so it says<pre>
-#!/usr/bin/env python2
-</pre>
-so "python2" gets run instead of "python".
-</ol>
-
-<P>You can also upgrade using a non-Redhat python 2.2 RPM and avoid
-the above steps (this is what I did). Because of all the dependencies
-it is usually easier to use source RPMs for this.
