Re: Cobalt MIPS server, Linux and OpenSRS client scripts

The Cobalt RAQ1 and Qube1 do not compile due to an older version of PERL
5.003, and Cobalt Tech Support does not recommend upgrading PERL, as it "may
interfere with the graphical user interface."

Has anyone installed the client on RAQ1 or Qube1?
