It's already installed. The command "rpm" uses the RedHat Package Manager to install and uninstall packages that you download (filenames will end with .rpm). Some simple commands: rpm -ivh filename.rpm#installs a package rpm -Uvh filename.rpm#uninstalls a

Can't say as I ever had any dependancy problems with Netscape, but I probably installed more packages than you did. Does `rpm -q compat-libs` come up with nothing? If so, go get it from a Mandrake FTP mirror. -Matt Stegman [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Wed, 22 Dec 1999, Howard Lee wrote: Thanks

A mirror is a download site which contains a copy of files at some other site, so for example, the "Update" program asks you to select a 'mirror' of the main mandrake download site so that you can choose a site that may be closer (and therefore perhaps faster) to download from, as well as allow
