*** Don't get me wrong - I did NOT blame RH for anything. My apologies if it sounded like that - that was not my intention. I've been around long enough to know the caveats of RawHide... My only intention was to inform people that they should NOT take my route w/o due care... Speaking of RawHide - this is the first time in probably 4-odd years that I had a catastrophic experience with RPMs from there. Occasionally one has to pay the price for living on the edge... :-) In this particular case, I dont (and didn't) mind as there is nothing on the system (yet) appart from RH72 so it's easy to reinstall... > That said, my XFree86 4.2.0 RPM's that have been > compiled and packaged for Red Hat Linux 7.2 work fairly > well, and do not have the dependancies referenced > above. > > <grin> *** Do I smell a hint of an offer here?? :-)) Jokes aside, it *would* be awfully nice of you to make these RPMs available somewhere... <bg> TIA... --Nino _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
