Sinceyou couldn't install everything, some things weren't installed. It stands to reason. As it happens, Pine and Pico are being phased out by Red Hat because of their nonfree license. Instead, get nano. It's a pico look alike. You can download from my anonymous ftp server: ftp.rednote.net Once there: cd goodies/textapps and then issue: get nano-1.2.1-3.i386.rpm Or, better still, use a program you probably have: ncftp ftp.rednote.net Then: cd goodies/textapps And: get nano and press the tab followed by enter. Once you've downloaded it, issue: rpm -iv nano and press tab followed by enter.
