What Neale said, including Mark's correction of that. TIm, an RPM file is really nothing more than a ZIP file with some added inventory metadata. (It uses a different archival scheme related to Unix 'cpio', but it's just another packaging thing.) So it is totally up to you where you put RPM files. -- R; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
