I know we're drifting a bit off-topic here, but usually what I do for non-mission-critical machines (such as a home workstation) is grab stuff from the latest fedora development repository and rebuild them on my system. That's what I did for tar, and what I do for amanda (even on production systems I do that). Just a suggestion :-) Matt -- Matt Hyclak Department of Mathematics Department of Social Work Ohio University (740) 593-1263
