Marco, Thanks. I agree that RPMs are nice, except it seems to be very hard to find RPMs that are up do date. I could not find any RPMs on the gimp-1.1.29 unles there is some source other than gimp.org. Also, I like to keep installed programs in /usr/local . . . and it seems that at least with RedHat RPMs install into what are probably not "standard" directories [note that I am not conversant in the intricacies of the ext2 filesystem and the "normal" install locations].
