| 'slynx' Dependency Problem

The ibreadline.so.4.1 is a file. If you use kpackage and you have pointed it at
your CD-ROM containing the Mandrake install CD for uninstalled packages, you
can use kpackage's find > file to locate the package which contains the file in
question. The others sound like RPM files, and should be locatable with the
kpackage find > packae menu item. This again presumes that kpackage knows where
to find RPM files (such as on your CD-ROM drive), and that the needed RPM files
are on the CD. I have not attempted to install any of these tools as yet, so I
do not know if they are on the CD or not.
One last point, to tell kpackage where to find the CD, first select options >
options, Misc. tab in pop-up window, and check "read information from all
local package files", then select OK. Next, select options > Location
uninstalled packages > Location RPMs. In the pop up window, use the button at
the right of the first dialog to browse to the RPMS folder on the Mandrake
CD, and select "OK". click the check box at the left of the dialog box to
indicate that it should be used. Also, if you have a folder on your Hard Drive
which you use for RPM downloads, you could include this in the next line if you
wish.
