The first part of my question dealt with the order of installing
packages. Someone mentioned Rpmfind as a source of information on the
location of specific files, but there has been no response on the order
of installation. I have read on the list (including the quote above)
that order of installation of packages is important. Is there some way
of knowing the correct installation order other than trial and error?
