Rumor has it there is, but I've heard it's not overly reliable yet. What I don't understand is why rpm doesn't do this to begin with. It can obviously resolve what the dependancies are, there's a built in mechanism to fetch rpms from a remote site via http or ftp. So why not have this built in. Any one know what the issues are? ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
