Steve....gee, I dunno, I use the package (kpackage) icon on the desktop. You
click on the package icon and then when the window pops up you specify
(select) an installed RPM and tell it to uninstall it, and then close the
window. Then you click on the new rpm (wherever it is) and when the
kpackage window comes up you tell it to install. It works really slick.
I got my sound card to work before the new mdk versions of sndconfig and sox
were available. What I did was uninstall sndconfig, sox and rhsound. Then I
installed the RedHat 6.0 RPM's of those 3 files. That stopped the error
message and allowed the install to finish properly. But so do the 2 new mdk
files, at least for me. Hope this helps.
Alan
