I was able to compile the latest Kermit from sources and put the resulting binary in a network accessible location. This should be good enough for now. But I wonder why Kermit is no longer available. The next missing package is DDD? I was able to download the RPM from the EPEL repo (I do not want to enable that repo on my systems) and install it on my systems. But again, I wonder why that package is no longer available? Both DDD and Kermit were part of the base repo in CentOS 4.X.

[CentOS] A couple of CentOS 5.1 issues
I've finally made the switch to CentOS 5.1 (I had been running 4.6). So far, so good, but I do have a few issues. First, I can not find kermit (or ckermit) in any of the repos (base, extras, centosplus, rpmforge). On my 4.6 systems, /usr/bin/kermit was provided by the package ckermit in the base repo. That package appears to be no longer available. Any ideas where I could find a suitable replacement? Second (and this is probably OT), I use the binary nVidia driver and the keyboard and mouse sharing utility Synergy (http:// synergy2.sourceforge.net, a fantastic utility without which I would be so much less productive). Since upgrading to CentOS 5, if the nVidia card goes into powersave mode, it can not be woken up by moving the cursor from the Synergy server to the Synergy client display (in this case, the CentOS 5.1 systems); you have to hit a key on the keyboard that's physically attached to the CentOS 5 system to wake it up.
