This thread is titled: " Poplog available via RPM and Debian packages and PPAs " . It's been obvious to me that if I could RE-install the setup/s that I used for poplog in the 90s, I'd again have the poplog that I had THEN. Since RH-6.2 was <mainstream> in those days: I fetched and tried to install it. I failed to get a running RH-6.2. Now "RPM" refers to RH-6.2. Where is the info about RPM installation of poplog ? == CRG.
