To install packages not included with RedHat there are two options: Download the rpm to your desktop and doubleclick it. No package manager needed for the front end and no command line. Just doubleclick the thing. Try apt and synaptic to update non-RH8 systems with rpms for multimedia and such to lazy to link use google for it. No reason to make things more difficult than they are no need to send newbies to the command line to run rpm -Uvh as root. Nope none at all. -- Johnathan Bailes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
