You can still enjoy E. :-) All the EFLs are pretty stable. Now you can use an apt/yum repository to install EFLs. http://sps.nus.edu.sg/~didierbe These EFLs rpms have been compiled on FC1 and FC2 machines so they won't break your system. You can use them safely. So far everybody has reported success stories. As for Evidence, I couldn't manage to get it in FC nicely. The tgz fails to compile on FCs and the SuSE rpms made available by Azundris installs with a --force option. [Yeah I kinda forced it into the box!] So for Evidence, I'm not that sure how well it will handle your system. If any Fedora Core users have nicely installed Evidence, please let me know your recipe. :-) I'll document it somewhere. I will be pleased to entertain any Fedora-E related issues. With kind regards, Didier. --- Didier F.B Casse | PhD student | Singapore Synchrotron light Source (SSLS) Email: didierbe AT sps dot nus dot sg | Web: http://ssls.nus.edu.sg GPG Key 1024D/B3C57D01 2004-06-23 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
