It solved my problem nicely. That wasn't with FC, though, so I don't know whether there is an rpm or you will have to build it. It's worth a try, though. Anne
Thanks, Anne. gtf is already installed on my FC6 box, so it must be default. Maybe anaconda uses it, I don't know. In any case, it's not outputting what I expect, but I'll play with it a bit and see what I can learn. Thanks for the great suggestion.
