Well I followed your advice but really did not expect it to work as all I had was utils , doctools and xc. Did a make/checkinstall on utils it failed. Did the same to doctools, made an rpm. Then I went and tried xc; now I thought I must backup first and then go to runlevel3 and then call the make/checkinstall, this was about an 20 mins ago. This is where I remark on my memory; I was so engrossed in what I was doing that I forgot all of that and all of a sudden I remmbered hell I am in kde2.2 as a user and doing acheckinstall, sh**! Couldn't do anything about it so it made an rpm I closed down and rebooted, bingo I am in 4.2, how lucky can you be, I was expecting it to freeze or not boot. It worked though. -- Keith Antoine (GANDALF) aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
