I'd a lot rather use rpms than tarballs -- if I can. Now I'm wondering about that "*.fdr.3.*" resp. "*.fdr.4.*" in those rpms. Are those release numbers, or what? Is either of them going to work with FC1?? Or do I have to go untar one of the tarballs and hope for the best? -- Beartooth Implacable, curmudgeonly codger learning linux Keep in mind that I know precious little of what I'm talking about.
