Trey, The easiest and most reliable is to use urpmi. It will solve the problem for you. just do urpmi.addmedia texstar http://www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.1/rpms/i586 with ./hdlist.cz (this should all be one line but wordwrap is a bear.) Then do urpmi --auto --auto-select This will add/update the correct rpms and maintain a working system for you. This is one of the few times I'd recommend automation over a controlled manual process. But I've done it now on 7 installations and not a single one has had a problem. James > > On Mon, 2003-06-02 at 14:16, Robert Crawford wrote: > > On Monday 02 June 2003 11:47, Ronald J.
