I have already mentioned this in the Installing Files thread - but it is OT here: How did you configure RPMDrake to go there? Upon opening RPMDrake checks the database of installed files etc. I have explored it but unsure of what to enter - and at places where it asks me to select - there is nothing that comes up - do I need to enter the ftp sites etc. or will it know them somewhere?

Try logging in as root and running RPMDrake from there. BTW, it should be done from the console. Ya wouldn't think that you would need to rebuild the RPM database, if just installed, or what???
