He has not installed their entire desktop, which is what causes upgrade problems because it installs at least 20 packages (rpm --force). ftp://ftp.ximian.com/pub/redcarpet/redhat-80-i386/red-carpet-1.4.0-2.ximian.2.i386.rpm That file, that is Red Carpet. It has ZERO dependencies. It does not conflict with any existing RH8.0 packages. It will not interfere with upgrades to the future version of RH, (if any exists, with no speculation as to the version number, if it even has one). That is what Brian has recommended. Install Red Carpet, and use it to do whatever it was this thread started about. Oh ya, Evolution 1.2. I'm using the beta, and it works great. I think maybe I'll install 1.2 -Ryan PS - Stereotypical mumbojumbo about upgrading to a version of RH that may never exist wasn't called for.
