Uh, no. The binary packages we ship out are the result of volunteer work. We ship out what our users and developers ship in. The fact that we have no Mandrake packages means that no one with a Mandrake machine has sent us any binaries. Since Mandrake and RedHat both use the RPM packaging format and run on i386, sometimes people install RPMs meant for RedHat on a Mandrake box. In fact, many of our users have done so on this very mailing list. And you know what - it doesn't work because of incompatible versions of many libraries on the different systems. It's a pain to support and won't work. Hub was trying to save you all some time and frustration. Cut him some slack. Dom __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
