There are plenty. "I love standards -- so many to choose from!" Mandrake has some tools that will automatically check for/download/install updates to the packaged provided with your Mandrake release. I forget the name, but I know it is featured prominently on their website somewhere. Also, look for a program called "rpmfind", which does a good job of finding the package you are looking for, and a fair job of solving dependencies. Connectivia (sp?) modified apt-get to use RPM as the backend. No idea if it works with Mandrake. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
