Re: [newbie] fontastic rpm and corel photopaint 9
if you downloaded the tarball from the corel site the file will be in corelphoto9/dists/redhat/i386/fonttastic-glibc-2.1-2000.06.22.14.00-1.i386.rpm this is the one i installed, and i replace the "init.d" directory as was suggested. didn't seem to kill my system, and photopaint now works. i'm happy happy. thanks Alex someone else wrote: I had one of the cd's from LSL, and it is in mnt/cdrom/Linux/dists/redhat/i386 You will need the glibc2.1 version. That is the version of glibc that is used by Mandrake. -- Alex (Go easy on me, I'm a COBOL programmer in real life) Adrian Smith 'de telepone dude Telecom Dept. x 7042 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [newbie] fontastic rpm and corel photopaint 9
argh... not at my linux box but as i recall i downloaded a tarball with the photopaint files in it, expanded it, and it's in one of those directorys. sorry i don't recall which one i got this tarball from the corel download site, so if you picked up the same one it is in there someplace. there are two of them, named something like: fonttastic-2.0something---.rpm and a 2.1 version. i don't know the difference between the two.
