Just because you know, doesn't mean everyone will Andreas. If a new user goes there, what are they suppose to do, flip page after page until they see one hotlink? I'm just saying there should be more mention of it and a link from the main page to both describe what sources are and links to them. Certainly not a GPL requirement, but would be rather convenient and go to show Novell/SuSE is interested in maintaining a good Linux distro.

You guys know as well as I do that Novell's handling of many things have not been top notch. If we don't complain, nobody is going to know that things need to be corrected. Thanks for the help, but remember in my mail, which both you and Henne conveniently left out of your replies, I thought it might be included with another package, but I hadn't dug that deeply yet. The mail wasn't about libgimpprint sources as much as the sources themselves, thank you very much! Now back to our regularly scheduled programming. Lee
