I understand that this is how the Mandrake install is performed. However, one of the virtues of using RPM packaging is that one can specify what packages a package depends on (OK, this part _is_ redundant). If it is known that ntp RPM requires basesystem, why not make ntp package aware of that? This will surely eliminate questions such as mine here. - Dmitri.
