The easiest/preferred way to install software with mandrake is using urpmi. If you go to the easy urpmi site at http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php it'll give you the necessary commands. Then when you want to add software use the command (e.g.) urpmi tripwire this will also take care of dependencies. Paul M -- And in the beginning, man created religion.
