Before yum screwed me over last night, and rpm -qa|grep xorg showed it as 6.8.1, so it was in the rpm database correctly. Or was it, it says X-6.8.1-1 now, so it named it after the name of the build directory I used. That I can fix I think, so it should read xorg-6.8.1. Before the evening is over. And maybe I've learned a bit about checkinstall too. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
