Oh. Maybe I got away from RH before they put that feature in. I always
searched for RPMs manually. I know there wasn't an autorun setup for
the install CDs back when I used RH.
Heh. Kinda makes me wonder why nobody suggested this way of installing
Apache in the first place.

I respectfully disagree with the implication that you need gcc if you're
interested in playing with a web server. That's part of the reason I
wrote the previous email in the first place. HTML is not programming.
Running a server is not programming. RH has RPMs so you don't have to
deal with source. Just my 3 cents.
