I don't know how redhat deals with user-installed packages, but it is highly unlikely that you'll be able to install this without being root. And given the update instructions require you to upgrade packages to meet dependencies, I don't think it's possible. Since it's a laptop, there are ways around not having the root password, but you probably don't have it for a reason :-) Easiest to get the root passwd from whoever has it or get them to do the upgrade. cheers chris -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | TELESCOPE, n. | | A device having a relation to the eye similar to that of the | | telephone to the ear, enabling distant objects to plague us with a | | multitude of needless details.
