Anything packaged properly in RPMs will get necessary dependencies installed automatically when installed with yum (or the GUI). The only reason to include 32 bit libraries in a default install of a 64 bit system is if there is a 32 bit binary in the default install. After much encouragement, Adobe has RPMs in a repo for Flash and Acrobat Reader. Java is now in the distribution (as are replacements for flash and acroread, although still less-functional at this time). You can get additional commonly-useful software from other third-party repos. For all of those, dependencies are handled automatically. You cannot anticipate what dependencies _any_ non-RPM-packaged programs may have (it doesn't really matter if the non-RPM software is open source or proprietary); trying to pre-install possible dependencies is a never-ending path to insanity. If every random dependency has to be pre-installed just in case, Fedora might as well just start requiring Blu-Ray drives, as the "default" install won't fit on a DVD anymore. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
