No, I want to install RRDTool. I don't want to muck around with RPMs,
yum, apt-get, emerge, or anything else that will keep me from what I want to
do, which is getting RRDTool installed so I can get Cacti installed so I can
get on with my job of monitoring a client's network. I don't mind that yum
couldn't find RRDTool (well, I do because now I'm in dependancy hell) but I
was amazed (confounded, speechless) that a search for "rrd" returned "gpg
keys". What's up with that?
