Thanks for the quick reply.  I don't either.  I thought that the
tar.gz would be something like the FireFox installer's tar.gz file
that lets you install stuff in the directory of your choice (I usually
install under my home directory tree) but it turned out to be a bundle
of RPMs.  I have a very bad experience of installing RPM-based
software downloaded from the Internet!

But, do you know of any problems/difficulties (dependency-related
problems, etc.) related to installing from the sources?  I assume
there is a standard configure/make/make-install procedure.  Further,
how long do you think the configure/make/make-install is going to take
on my FC3/1.7GHz Celeron/256MB ?
