My point was this: I hate building from source...never seems to go right without hours of digging for extra stuff. Hence, I rely heavily on rpms. I usually set up a "contrib" mirror and also Thacs rpms. 10.0 is new...on the contrib mirrors, the versions of Ardour, jack, etc are usually behind. (I know you invest a lot of time into producing these for Mandrake users and I'm quite sure your busy) Often the Cooker versions are later versions... I usually try not to mix them...but in a pinch, sometimes that has worked for me. R~ > > > > Is the stuff on Mandrake Club current including DAW apps?
