Shouldn't that have been done by 9.0...? I've always done "rpm -ivh"
installs in the past... thought I'd try the other tools; but MCC gave me
grief, and now urpmi...
My point is that with 9.0, Mandrake seems to be paying less attention to
those little details that will tick off the new users they're trying to
attract. Don't get me wrong; I'm a strong Mandrake supporter; but at
least one release in every major release (since 6.x) are less new user
friendly than the others. Hope 9.0 is the only one in the 9.x series...
Anyway, unless there is some implied version info, there is nothing
specifying version in this (unless I'm blind):
