[SNIP] : The main reason I'm moving away from RedHat, is that they expect you to keep : buying their upgrades on CD. : The new new rpm is not compatible with the old one from Picasso, : so anytime I see a useful rpm on the net, its bad news. : So I'm sticking with tar.gz, at least they will always be backward compitible : for free. Fair enough if your net access is expensive. Since I can easily download a recent version RPM, it's not a big problem. Specially since I've been keeping up along the way - so I've never tried to make a big enough version jump that the old RPM couldn't install the new RPM rpm. -- David Gibson @ The Lorax | New from Microsoft... david%brucehall20@anu.edu.au | THNEED 95 | Which everyone, Everyone, EVERYONE needs.
