Thanks Jim, you saved me saying pretty much the same thing, but if DP is concerned more with how the package is constructed - Thats where the beauty of RPM comes in. Download the SRPM, read what is happening in the SPEC file and if you dont like it, change it and then rebuild the RPM. Amazingly simple... Just make sure you update the changelog ;) -- Regards, Scott Ryan ISP Systems Development & Integration Specialist Telkom Internet ------------------------------------- Good judgement comes with experience.
