Praedor, (Hope I spelled that correctly) How I got the base to install correctly is by removing the file /usr/share/apps/kdm/pics to pics.old then and only then did kde2base istall........ however........ it still didn't run. BUT base did install completely. So I guess that is a minor victory. The only thing I can figure is there is a damn dependency somewhere that I'm not finding .... Like the need to update PAM that Sarang found. James On Tue, 03 Oct 2000, you wrote: > > Damn, this is fun. > > I have tried to BUILD the src.rpms, to no avail.
