I have wireshark and wireshark-gnome on my Fedora 9 box, but it's in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/lib, etc. Try doing `rpm -ql wireshark wireshark-gnome` to see where your system thinks it's installed. The only reason I can think of for it being in /media/_ is if there was a chroot or something when it was installed. That's weird. > Q2: When I attempt to run (as root) wireshark I get an "The exec() call > failed" error. What do I have to do to get wireshark to run? This may be connected with the above. It's possible that it's just not installed properly. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
