But those are packages, not programs. As an example, a lot of people might find the 'convert' program useful if they read it's man page. The output of 'yum search convert' is more than anyone wants to see and not really useful. How are you supposed to guess the 'yum info ImageMagick' invocation that you'd need if you don't have the convert man page on line? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
