They are collections of programs and libraries from all over the place (the kernel started out from Linus, most of the utilities and such are from the Gnu people, etc., etc.). What you should be saying is that it's from a non-Fedora repository (or rather a non-Redhat controlled repository). Rpmfusion is a reliable repository and many of the contributors to Fedora also have packages there. While Redhat doesn't control it, it is still a good source, as was livna (before there were too many incompatible forks of packages between it and the "official" Fedora repos). -- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigitalri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2ICQ: 22643734Yahoo: origrps2 - -- - Microsoft Windows: Proof that P.T.
