Is it possible to install el3 packages on CentOS 4? I'm wondering
because there are some packages on dag (for example ac3dec) that are

Thanks.
This is generally a bad idea. If dag isn't building them for EL4,
there's likely a very good reason for it. Have you considered asking
on the rpmforge mailing list?
I understand. I *do* notice that the package I mentioned (ac3dec) has
been replaced by a newer (a52dec) package which does exist for el4. I
was just curious because I have encountered sort of "interesting"
packages that I might want to try on dag (eg. multi-gnome-terminal) and
are not built for el4. I will keep what you say in mind. However, if I
have questions, I'll probably post on the rpmforge mailing list. :-)
Thanks again!
Sincerely
Jose Alburquerque
