Re: OpenServer webmin 0.89 is newer than 1.000 probs

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Another problem with the caldera webmin RPM is that it
includes the /etc/webmin directory within the RPM itself ..
This means that it is pretty much impossible to upgrade from
it to the official RPM :(  You would be better off uninstalling it,
and then installing the official 1.000 RPM.
