Hi all, Does anyone have RedHat 7.2, and is it any good? I have been sorely disappointed with the two previous Red Hats, becuz they shipped with intermediate versions of GCC, my most important tool. Having an officially unsupported GCC is bad news for me, since when trying to compile Mach, GRUB, etc, they state the versions of GCC that came with those two previous RedHats were not supported.
I tried to get my old RedHat 6.2 installed again, and got the drivers for my nVidia GeForce2 MX400 video card, but I couldn't get XFree86 4.0.1 or better in the version of RPM packages that RedHat 6.2 supported. I tried installing the later RPM, but the old RPM couldn't install it! Sheesh, what a joke. Anyways, does anyone know if 7.2 comes with the proper latest or recent version of GCC, i.e. 2.95.x and not 2.96.x? And, can anyone tell me where I can get an XFree86 > 4.0.1 in RPM or tar gz, and if RPM, that can be installed with an RPM that has a major version number < 3? Apart from XFree86 and my video card drivers, what other things do I need to install for X on my workstation? Is there a gigantic RPM that has all the Gnome or KDE things ready to go? Plus all the libraries they need, etc? With Thanks, James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
