Unless I am reading something wrong Mandrake 8.1 supports apt unless APT is something different??

It's called apt :-) The humor might be lost since you may not understand that it's a debian thing. RPM is a good package tool, but not great. It's not very good a resolving dependancies. Worse, it doesn't know how to fetch anything that related to dependancies. You might want to look at the apt-for-rpm project which was posted to the list recently. -- Minneapolis St. Paul Twin Cities MN | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org Minnesota Linux | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9 _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
