Firstly I am sure there is nothing wrong with the ATrpms site/repo. I cant remember the exact packages but they had what I would call slightly different extensions my brain keeps saying .fr but I think thats a blind alley. Keep in mind even though Ive used Linux for nearly two years now I'm still very much a newbie. I know exactly what I'm doing with Synaptic I'm very unsteady with command line (Something I really wish I could master) so stuff like yum and apt-get (text mode) throw me off balance I generally only use to responses in those situations Y & N actually thinking about it I'm sure it was under yum I had the problem anyway If I have offended you in any way I apologise. -- Regards Peter Cannon
