And also, the description says 'certain programs'. If these programs are not going to be required, can you at least list a few that make use of it (e.g. links), so that people know whether they need this or not. BTW (slightly off-topic), I really wish there was a SuggestRequires or something of that nature in RPM. Sometimes I want to install a GNOME program, and it requires the whole GNOME desktop, plus some desktop apps. Now that is pretty absurd, I'm normally a KDE user, so all I should need is the libs to run this program, not the entire desktop environment. It seems to me either those GNOME depdencies are listed wrong by RPM, or moreover I get the feeling that GNOME really does need this much 'stuff' in order to run. Sorry, but I don't have an example right at hand, but it happens. -- Sincerely, David Walluck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
