Interestingly a story about the latest version of XPde has cropped up on slashdot: http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/04/03/2322233&mode=thread&tid=106&tid=185&tid=189 I don't have any experience but from some browsing the installation instructions are: " General installation instructions: -Decompress the tar.gz in /usr/share as root -Edit the .xinitrc file of the user you want to run XPde and put this line: /usr/share/xpde/bin/startxpde -Start X " http://support.xpde.com/ If you're looking to build an rpm, you'd presumably have to write a script, which does some of the above. I've heard that checkinstall is very good for capturing the behaviour of the script and putting it all together, if you work out how to write the script! I'm not quite sure what you would do for the user specific stuff- maybe do it system wide in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ? Or leave it to the user to actually enable it if they want? Perhaps this software needs some adapting to work with a package based system! Good luck! A.
