I think this one is deeper than that. SLES does have rpm's, but 10 is a
bit older and the version of Pango with SLES 10 is not new enough for
mrtg. SLES 11 has some fundmental changes that I don't like and did not
want to take the time to work through.

Thanks for answering this one. I am more concerned about the lastupdate
parameter now.

Now to go sulk as Nagios went from html to php based and it's a 'minor'
footnote in a sub-minor version change...
