check out the man page for rpm. the rpm data base has lots of information that can be useful. rpm -qa|less #scroll through a list of all packages installed rpm -ql packagename # list all files contianed in package rpm -qf filename # findout what pacakge owns a file. In fact man is a good shot for a lot of command if you want to learn. man -k searchterm # searchterm is a word you are looking for information on. man -k X returns over 9000 man pages that have someting to do with X HTH Bret Also the archives at marc.theaimsgroup.com are a good lplace to search old mailing list potings as well. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
