Scott: This is going to be a huge *LEARNING* experience for me! :-) Many
*newbie* questions here: Will it be better for me to get KStars only,
from the KStars web site, which comes with a warning (see below), or
from Fedora, which is much closer to CentOS? The problem is that it
normally is inside the KDE Edutainment RPM and if I get it from Fedora,
it will probably be inside that. If I get the KDE Edutainment SRC RPM
from Fedora, which version of Fedora should I get it from for CentOS
4.4? (You wrote FC6 for CentOS 5). The kdeedu RPM is not on the CentOS
4.4 DVD. I'm assuming it's not on the CentOS 5.0 DVD, but I don't have
that yet. If I'm able to make an RPM for KStars only, I would not plan
to install kdeedu later. However, I suspect there may be dependency
issues, with other KDE stuff, etc. There is *no* way I will be able to
get my wife to use CentOS on her box, if she cannot use KStars! Even my
6 year old daughter wanted to use KStars last night, so her box is
another demanding KStars user. TIA, Lanny in Colombia
