Compatibility IS there for such third party applications - You just have to know what compat libraries you need for yum and install them by hand before installing your app. I guess then the real issue is in this case you have to know what to install, and that can be non-obvious. I might be wrong, since it was a while since I installed FC5, but is there not an option during package selection to install legacy support ? If so, I would imagine just selecting this would give all you need ? It seems our main difference of opinion is based around whether it is installed by default or not. I say support is there, since the libraries are available if needed. You say it isn't as these libraries are not installed by default. I guess we have to agree to disagree here. Chris
