That reminds me. I was going to rant about something mandrakesque. /me scratches head. Oh yeah - I was wanting to play an old favourite I hadn't played for a while - freeciv. In fact, it had been so long I had updated to Mdk 10.0 in the mean time. So, I see I have freeciv client in the games menu. I recall that freeciv is a game that comes in two parts, client and server, and you need both even in single player mode. I search around for the server part, and it's not there. Not in the menus, not in /usr/share/games/freeciv where the client resides. Eventually I run "urpmi freeciv-server". It's a small download, only a few minutes even on dial-up, and now I have the server too. The point is, what kind of braindead distro only intalls half a game? I know it's only a small urpmi, emerge or apt-get, but why should a user have to do this? If my wife had wanted to play it, she would never have thought of doing "urpmi freeciv-server". </rant> Yuri -- ** WARNING to mailing list repliers ** Gmail over-rides "Reply-To:" field.
