i wanted to re-install xscreensaver (it doesn't matter why). i tried to use "Remove software" in the Mandrake Control Centre. when i marked xscreensaver for removal, it told me i had to remove xfce & gnome-control-center as well (i did so). so far, no problem.
when i opened "Add software" & marked the 3 packages for installation, it told me "Everything is already installed" (maybe it didn't remove them). i re-opened "Remove software" to check: they've gone! so a problem: "Add software" wrongly told me they were installed. i succeeded in re-installing the 3 packages using 'rpm -i', after which they correctly re-appeared in the "Remove software" listing. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto
