If you select Menu>System>System>Configuration>Packaging>Browse packages then you are running rpmdrake as a normal user in browse only mode and the Install button will be greyed out as you describe. Menu>System>System>Configuration>Packaging>Install should prompt you for root password, and then you should be able to install packages. If for some reason you are not being prompted for root password, try running kdesu rpmdrake from a terminal or by hitting Alt+F2 derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
