Apologies, I should have said /usr/bin/drakconf (its one of those days) Always use the command urpmi rather than rpm. e.g. urpmi firefox urpmi drakconf will identify whether mcc is missing & install it if it is. To use urpmi you will need to have it set up for the sources you want to use (CD, Penguin Liberation Front, mandrake Updates, Club, etc) see the easy urpmi site for advice. -- Paul M _____________ Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. —Voltaire
