on that score, i just downloaded the newest nvidia drivers and installed them on my RH 8.0 box, knowing i could always back off. no need -- they seem to work fine on 8.0, so that's at least partial confirmation. regarding the freshrpms site, since those packages are *entirely* optional, they're not an issue. i never said there was no reason to install RH 9 *now* -- i only said that refusing to get it from an unofficial site for moral/ethical reasons had no basis. besides, if we all played it safe and waited for others to try it first, we'd never get to it, would we? rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
