This *usually* works on cooker releases earlier in the cycle (i.e. just after the main release), but I wouldn't really recommend it, unless you have a test box. What I try to do is get the cooker source .rpm and rebuild it on your system (rpm --rebuild xxx.src.rpm). Yes, you might still have to go off and get some dependent stuff, (and maybe build that too!!) and you'll almost certainly have to install some developer packages, but you'll end up with new packages built for your system .... hth -- john in sydney Mandrake Linux 9.0, Kernel version: 2.4.19-16mdk OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net 1024D/3E4A902F B38A AB0F 8658 D9E1 4900 3050 08FA D4FA 3E4A 902F
