You're preaching to the choir. I've always been mystified that Mandrake doesn't tout urpmi more than it does. It's amazing how many Debian users I've encountered who think that Debian is the only distro with that functionality. *I* didn't even find out about it until I mentioned that the only thing urpmi couldn't do was do a distribution upgrade on Slashdot and one of the Mandrake developers corrected me (I think it was Chmouel...). -- Levi Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Love lies in pools of questions.
