The bin86-0.4 rpm does not appear to be included in the RH 6.1 distribution. I could find it nowhere on the CD, nor on ftp.redhat.com. I did a fresh install of 6.1 and was trying to recompile the kernel, but it failed because it could not find the as86 program, which is part of the bin86 package. The RH Reference Guide lists bin86 as one of the available packages (under Development/Tools in Appendix A). Has this package been renamed, or was it just overlooked (by me or otherwise)?
It's been replaced by dev86.
Thanks for the quick response! Shouldn't the documentation be updated to reflect this change?
