Hi List,
Well, I must need glasses. That worked great with 'sftp' and 'slynx',
when I went
to install mod_ssl-2.6.3-1mdk it began to install just fine and then
threw an 'execution of script failed' error at me and stalled. The
unsatisfied dependency with this mod I noticed was apache >=
1.3.12-12mdk (I have 1.3.12 running under windows) and I checked my
Linux version found I have 1.3.9-17mdk.
I am at apache web site now and also gftp'd into Mandrake again to look
but I only locate apache 1.3.9-17mdk, where can I find apache
1.3.12-12mdk?
Thanks,
b/web
