Is this dependency hell? If you have all three CDs (or an Internet source set up) you should have few problems. Compiling source from tarballs won't automatically install the dependencies like urpmi-ing a binary RPM does, but the error messages will tell you what's missing, and it's usually standard stuff that you can then urpmi. Occasionally you'll have to search for an obscure library, but assuming you've already installed the standard stuff (gcc etc.) 90% of tarballs just need the usual configure make make install Sir Robin Robin Turner IDMYO Bilkent Univeritesi Ankara 06533 Turkey Thank you for your input it helps.

It has that, some TeX stuff, and localisation files (hence the name International CD). In other words, it's a catch-all fro RPMs most users won't want.

Thanks to everyone who answered this question. You were all right. The variety of answers caused me to print a list of files on each disk, and it does contain what you all said. IE. Development files, Local language files, Open Office, Miscellaneous Files. Should anyone want copies I have the 3 disk rpm filenames in abiword (abw) format and will send them to you off list if you ask [disk1 17pgs, disk 2 17pgs, disk 3 25pgs].
