What I would like to do is get gnome-2.20 -- this is my real problem and since a lot of packages were masked either by ~x86 or hard mask -- this is how the whole thing got started -- actually a lot of these were done for gnome 2.18. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
