I'm a bit confused...aren't rpms and so on designed to help out the user rather than cause problems. And aren't dependancies a good thing...if something is truly dependant upon something else....i'm just a bit confused here.

Subject: Re: Linux on Dell laptop? Hi Igor. Perhaps you might be able to install FC2, and then delete the RPM subsystem? That way you won't have to deal with package tracking systems like RPM and apt, and you also won't deal with dependency issues. Best of all, you'll have a perfectly functioning *nix machine. -- Erik Heil <eheil at va3duk.serveftp.com> Phone: (865) 673-0542 _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
