Hmmmm, why would you be shot? I was going to write in hours and hours ago and say that there was a debian package, but then I realized the distribution being used wasn't debian. Had I been aware there was a Redhat/fedora rpm, I'd have written and said: "USE THE RPM". I certainly hope one doesn't have to compile everything on his/her own box to be a REAL linux user--smile!!! -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
