Hello, List! I'm making progress here. I got the CD to mount correctly and pulled the CVS 1.9.1 RPM off it and installed it with the Xwin package manager. My problem is the fact that it's a buggy ver of CVS. I've d/l'd the 1.9.16 ver of it and removed the 1.9.1...BUT the 1.9.16 won't install. I've seen this with a couple of packages so far from the CD as well. What am I missing here? I'm on RH4.2, incidentally. TIA.... Karl .....BTW, I'm remembering why I loathed M$ for so long.....Linux is bringing me back into the light......B-) Karl Miller NetSpace Systems -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
