Now if you dunno what it is your looking for i.e. deps and you ls the rpm dirs on the cds you get a list that scares the pants of the devil himself. And the amount of time you spend searching through the list is painfull. But my wish was to have maybe synaptic for the discs where you could click on the item and see what it is and requires. ****************************************************************** Chadley Wilson Soon 2 B RHCE Linux Rocks Welcome to my world.
