Yes it did, thank you. I was under the mistaken impression that I needed to use the package name as its listed in rpmpkgs. I still don't have ksetiwatch working, (it was at one time) but seti@home still runs fine and I'll try to find out why ksetiwatch and ksetisaver don't work another day when I have more time. Thanks again for your response.
