>From time to time I download new packages, install them, and run against
conflicts, with future makes complaining that I have TWO versions of the
same thing installed. I suspect one was installed by Mandrake 7.2, and I
blindly installed another one with Make install. 

I have since learned to do an rpm -e --nodeps  before doing a make
install, but is this the best way, could it break things in the long run?
For example, Mesa, or Alsa drivers. What is the 'recommended way' to
upgrade things?

Thanks, -turgut
