Thank you! A quick look at the /usr/lib/mc/extfs/rpm script clearly
shows that a working rpm is necessary for mc to install or upgrade a
.rpm archieve.
I did a quick install of Xrally, from the .rpm, file, using the mc
'install' script. Then:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /root]# rpm -q xrally
xrally-1.0.pre1-1
I'm convinced ;)
Thanks again.....
Best,
Tom
