Just that you run a *risk* of a dependency problem. If you install only packages compiled with the same libraries as on the distro, then you can be fairly confident they will work OK. When you install packages built for a different release or distro, then you can end up with conflicting dependencies. Nowdays I only use Mandrake specific RPMs or else compile from source (and use checkinstall to create an RPM for me) As for plf and Texstar. Texstar has some packages which are duplicates of ones in plf. I am not aware of any actual incompatibility. They are both built using standard Mandrake libraries. There has been the odd occasion where plf and Texstar have given the same package different names which causes a little confusion (e.g. the lame mp3 encoder ), but I think now they co-operate better. derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
