And long may it stay that way. The only reason i get reminded about rpm's is when other people ask me for help - I often say "is your distro's version of foo compiled with support for bar?" - to which they go all glazed over, and i end up looking at the src.rpm file for them :-) -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
