Rob, I m a month or so into Linux and mandrake but this question is of interest to me. I am lost! There are too many of these things for me at present - and I have also installed binaries which means the rpm database no longer knows what is what. Some programs i have tried are urpmi rpm MandrakeUpdate - Software Manager red-carpet kpackage There are a few more too, I expect none are like Yast or apt (or are they?) Should one find one and then commit to it? Today for example i wanted to upgrade Mozilla - but just got tangled up in things not working. So I'll be watching this thread - how do people manage their files? Walter -- Walter Logeman Psychotherapist http://www.psybernet.co.nz
