Until i found one of the files needed and did it again and suddenly I needed new everything. OK one cant upgrade just one program if it uses new libraries - it will need an upgrade to the whole new mandrake. OK - I wont do that till it is out as the next version. Anyway, xmms works after i reinstalled it from the disk thus: [derek@Derek derek]$ cd /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS [derek@Derek RPMS]$ su Password: [root@Derek RPMS]# rpm -Uvh --oldpackage xmms* Thanks for that Derek. ~~~ Now I'd like to upgrade xfree86 4.1.0 to 4.2.0 I have tried, but the dependencies are horrendous... where to from here?
