Yes, I agree, it does but for Newbies (it was posted to the newbie list, no?), RPM's are the best/easiest. Besides, URPMI was originally designed for RPM's not Tarballs IIRC. =)

No, for Mandrake Systems you should ALWAYS use URPMI for installs


Ehmm, mandrake installs tarballs fine but you DO have to have the kernel-source package installed for your particular kernel.

I do quite a lot of tarball installs and don't come across more probs than on on other distro's.

Using urpmi is the easiest and prolly the best option, I agree...just wanted to put that comment right before it gets a life of it's own. Sorry;)

Good luck,

anyway. Yes, there are Scribus RPMS's (depending on which version MDK)
you are running of course).
Go here: http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php
and set up an URPMI source for your version and then from the CLI: urpmi
scribus

Scribus is in Main AFAIK.
