I'd suggest using yumex.. It's much easier to use when it comes to selecting only the specific packages you want. As for the dependancies, you can't avoid them. The only way to install only what you want to, is by using Gentoo's portage, which of course is available only on Gentoo. -- |----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Mrugesh Karnik | Registered Linux User #375243 |----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
