The SRPMS are additional resources if you ever want to tweak the programs. Check you've burnt the iso's as data discs, not as images. You need to burn the iso's that you downloaded onto the cd's as images. Check the help files for your CD-burning software for the right options. -- Tony Dietrich ------------- When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite. -- Winston Churchill, on formal declarations of war
