Thanks to both of you. I first ran "rpm -ivh" from the shell and it got as far as GUI- went through the prep stage and then aborted with no error or other messages. I downloaded Red-Carpet and installed (went smoothly). Red Carpet ran the install and reported that timidity was already installed. From a tour through diretories it looks like it IS installed, but shows up on no menu. I ran "timidity" from the shell and got a normal looking welcome message(s) from timidity and then it shut down. So how do I run timidity under X?
