You have been introduced to the hell of RPM package management. try opening a shell ( command line screen ) and type:- rpm -Uvh librosegarden0-4-arts-0.9.1-2mdk.i586.rpm \ rosegarden-4-arts-0.9.1-2mdk.i586.rpm \ libjack0-0.50.0-3mdk.i586 you will be told about any other .rpm files needed, I cannot tell what's needed as I do not know what is installed already. my guess is that you will need the alsa library and drivers and possibly something called ladspa-cmt-1.15 whatevcer that is. add them to the list above and re-run the rpm command. Don't forget the '\' at the end of the line except the last one. There is a wealth of audio stuff at:- http://rpm.nyvalls.se/sound9.0.html hth, have fun. -- Sincerely etc., Christopher Sawtell
