I just downloaded .NET Reflector to look at mono's System.Core.dll,
and it only appears to have one dependency on mscorlib, so that
shouldn't be a problem.

I just copied the System.Core.dll from my linux install of mono to a
windows machine with .net 2.0 and when I tried to start my
application, I received the following:

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file
or assembly 'System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies.
Strong name validation failed.
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013141A)

561934e089' ---> System.Security.SecurityException: Strong name validation faile
d. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013141A)
The Zone of the assembly that failed was:
MyComputer
   EntryPoint.Usage(String message, String stacktrace)
   at EntryPoint.Main(String[] args)

I'm not very familiar with strong naming (I did it once years ago to
get something in the gac, and haven't looked at it much since), so
does anybody have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?  Thanks.
