Generally, if you try to install an rpm that has uninstalled dependencies, you will be required to install them first. This can be a pain but it beats a shot system. You can also force the install but it's a good idea not to as there is usually a very good reason for the dependency.
There is a project to correct this for RPMS called URPMI (google it for info) HTH Stu On Thu, 2002-09-12 at 08:36, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I'm new to the group and fairly new to linux, as well.
