Hi Ed, thanks for your reply. weird - I just tried it again, and immediately I got: [EMAIL PROTECTED] merlin]# urpmi dia everything already installed [EMAIL PROTECTED] merlin]# yet I can't find it in the start menu or on the desktop. Trying to start it from within the terminal gets this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] merlin]$ dia-0.91 bash: dia-0.91: command not found [EMAIL PROTECTED] merlin]$ cd dia-0.91 [EMAIL PROTECTED] dia-0.91]$ dia-0.91 bash: dia-0.91: command not found [EMAIL PROTECTED] dia-0.91]$ I wonder, would it have installed itself somewhere else, and maybe I have to start it from there??? -- Merlin Zener Piano, Synthesizer Thailand. registered Linux user number 328618
