It is also useful for quick 'what does this > package do' ponderings when looking at rpm -qip output. But what's the good of sorting them into separate dirs by vague and ill-fitting categories? If it's a matter of keeping directory size down, grouping by first letter would be better. Or, do it via comps.xml groups (with a big "other" category for everything else). Or use some other more meaningful test. The same complaint goes for the -qip argument -- a category like "System Environment/Base" doesn't tell you much about what ScrollKeeper does, or "Applications/Internet" much about openssh-askpass. And "System Environment/Daemons" for procmail??? You'll get much more useful (and quicker) information by looking at the Summary. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
