And, at the risk of repeating the whole sorry tale, how would I get hold of RPMs for apt or yum (given that I'm on RH 9.0)? (FWIW, I *part* solved my multisync problem by downloading the source and compiling it myself. However, only some of the plugins compiled properly - the key evolution one wouldn't. And while I'm relatively clueless when it comes to resolving dependencies in precompiled RPMs, I'm entirely hopeless when a C compile falls on its bum.) Actually, I overstate my han'lessness. I know more about this stuff than your average Joe in the street. And the fact that *I* can't do something as simple as this surely proves that Linux is still *miles* away from Windows in usability for the common man. *Miles*. ta, tc _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
