Todd, then he should already know the answer to his problem shouldn't he? And knowing the answer leads to a solution. Or it should. This list has been just full of 'Fedora bashers' lately. And most of the bashing is about things that Fedora has no control over. Like this 'dependency problem'. I run the development branch (Rawhide) and it is not uncommon to get 200 Megs, or more, of updates everyday. That was everyday not every week. I don't use 'third party' software packages and I don't have any 'dependency problems'. Ever. -- David
