Yes there is -- it's called Yum and/or up2date. They are dependency managers, and they handle the RPM crap for you -- if you work with them and use channels to install your software. If you go in the back door with apps compiled from source or use "foreign" RPMS that don't come from any channel, you're going to run into problems. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs@xxxxxxxxxx The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves@xxxxxx against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/ascii / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves
