Well, that's the worst of both worlds: you can never know what a package is called because it might be CaSeSenSiTive or not. ORBit is a very good example - I have to do "grep -i orbit" for it *every single time* I have to look it up because I can never remember the exact case. If everything was forced to lowercase you wouldn't have to remember or try and guess. It seems to work fine for Debian but <shrug> - Panu - -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
