I know there is an RPM. I have downloaded one already. My skill level is a kin to suicide which why I decided to get a new version of Mandriva with such things already installed and get it installed and running on another machine then try to blow this one up. I f you recall Mandriva was selling a stick version of Linux installed on a small disk less machine. More recently I see that some one in the MHV is using such a machine. See Williams Lumber for an example. My view is that when the hackers get to write on a ROM module on a machine with no means of writing ROMs then I will worry. In the mean time I can use a ROM based machine to download, read and print with out fear that they are using my machine.
