Very simple: make an rpm package that will require all of those packages, then use something like apt or urpmi to install it. It will drag along with it all the rest of the KDE packages, as apt and urpmi know how to resolve rpm dependencies automatically. (The idea is far from being original, of course, and is being borrowed from debian). -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
