That's the fun part... nor am I knocking Axel's great work, but his site went down at a critical juncture for me as there was a pile of updates half baked in the oven that were just standard fedora core rpms available in a dozen places. I disabled atrpms channel as well as the mirror. I erased all traces of atrpms that I could find. Thankfully it is now up as smart is still dnloading from there almost *exclusively*. I just cannot explain it. I just got evolution back. No telling how it went boom. All of my kde games... floop. Gone. Re-installing them now. I promise you Axel, if I ever hit the lotto I'll spring for a blade farm and at least two T-1's from completely different providers. Bleeding edge sucks at times. If you're not "intimate" with your machine and install, you're screwed. :) Ric -- ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
