But so far I can't get it to work on Mandrake. I grabbed an RPM from a contrib site (?) when you announced the availability of this but so far haven't been able to get it to run. I think I need a better /etc/apt/sources.list file that is tailored to Mandrake & Mandrake cooker. The one that is provided now has a couple of ftp sites in Brazil and won't connect to them because of some key ring problems. Anyone else using this on Mandrake? > Mike -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
