It looks like you have to go out and get it on your own.
The only source I could find online for xfishtank had a list of unfulfilled dependencies about 25 lines long. Not good. There is a "deep ocean" version of xfishtank that comes with FC3, it is called "Atlantis". Fans of the daily comic strip "Sherman's Lagoon" might enjoy "Sherman's aquarium". It can be found at < http://rebus.webz.cz/ > partway down the page. All the above for FC3. Debian users can just "sudo apt-get xfishtank". carl -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
