(The RPM in both places is synaptic-0.48.2-1.1.fc1.fr.i386.rpm .) Incidentally, I tried an entry in sources.list which I found in the fedora-list archives (but with a local URL) namely rpm http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/os/ but synaptic complains that this line is not in proper format. Could anyone who is running synaptic successfully under Fedora-1 please send me, or post, their sources.list . -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
