Hey Nigel and the gang; Well, I *think* that unless someone wants to re-write and maintain jacman, you would be best advised to not use it. I would suggest 'yaourt' as a replacement. It works very nicely here for what I need out of such a program, and it is being actively maintained as pacman evolves. Very best regards; Bob Finch P.S.. Jacman is a great idea, so *IF* someone brings it up to date, I am sure it would be VERY popular. > Jacman hasn't worked properly, as regards installing packages since I > installed don't panic.
