I am trying to install 10a on Red Hat 9. Went to:

any snmp so I then tried "ethereal-base-no-snmp", which
seemed to install, except can't find the ethereal program
file.

You probably want ethereal-gtk+ - ethereal-base includes the stuff that doesn't require GTK+, but the Ethereal executable does require it.


Perhaps "ethereal-base" should be renamed "tethereal-base", but I'd expect people to still be confused as they might not realize that you first need to install something whose name doesn't begin with "ethereal".

Is there a FAQ on this list of packages?

No, but there should probably be something - I'd vote for exporting the RPMs via HTTP as well as FTP, and providing an index page, just as


http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/win32/

has an index page, with the RPM index page explaining what the various RPMs are.
