Thanks for your opinion, my doubts arise by the fact I previously installed succesfully ns under fedora core 4 (after applying a gcc4 patch) and I had no problems. Since I had to upgrade my system, I had to install ns again, but without any success. So I was afraid something went wrong about the system's stability (due to tcl/tk packages included in ns-allinone and yet present on the system). But it seems to be fine, since I think files remain within the ns-allinone directory if the install process will not procede succesfully. > yet again, I don't think if it conflicts with anything else, I leave the > practice / risk to you, Yes, don't worry :) I'll search informations about ns installing under fedora 5, hoping all will go fine. > Sasan Thanks a lot.
