171 Cascade Technology 5.2.3a that is delivered on the CD for Mandrake 10.1
172 is in binary form only. This version is a special patch prepared in
173 order to port SALOME to Mandrake 10.1 and gcc 3.4. This is not yet a
174 certified Open Cascade Technbology version and may have eventual
175 regressions in various functionalities. Thus there may be slight
176 difference in behaviour among Redhat 8.0 and Mandrake 10.1 installations
177 of SALOME. Please contact maintenance in case if you have any problems
179 <LI class=MsoNormal style="mso-mso-mso-list: l2 level1 lfo8">Sometime
180 SALOME does not start from first time (bug PAL8142). The fix will be in
181 next maintenance release.

184 is not assured on RedHat 9.0 systems. Third party products compilation
185 (like Python) was not overally tested and can fail due to differnces in
186 some RPM packages between Redhat 8.0 and 9.0 versions.
187 <LI class=MsoNormal style="mso-mso-mso-list: l2 level1 lfo8">The
188 Sauv2Med converter has regressions due to recent changes in the MED
