I don't know too much about redhat, but I think you are looking for: uname -a you probably want to install the i686 packages.... depending on your system specs.. (but as you are running RH8 i am assuming you have a quick machine... ;) anyway, uname -a will let you know what arch it is. from memory, noarch is of no importance. <been working with solaris too long, let me know if this is wrong.. i forget> :) > > Voytek Eymont .will | will munkara-kerr | ssinct.freeshell.org/pubkey.txt | (w0295157577)(m0410499867)(f0292112304) > > -- > SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ > More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug > "This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain confidential information.
