I upgraded via tarball by using Checkinstall which builds an RPM from source and then installs it. I still have the RPM but others have reported dependency problems when trying to use the ones that Checkinstall builds on my system since I have installed Texstar's upgrades, so my system is not entirely vanilla Mandrake. Compiling was a snap on my system, I don't think that 2.6 is using anything that 2.55 didn't also use. I did have to patch Razor though, the new SA runs in notaint mode so you have to patch the Razor client to get it to work right. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
