Youch. I can see how the files would be big. Thanks, but that only gets me part of the way there. In SuSE, if I decide to install mod_php4 package for use with apache, I can click on a search button in yast, it finds all packages related to php. I double click the one I want to install, yast then determines if there are any dependencies for that rpm and marks all dependencies to be installed as well (the red hat installer does a check like this). Finally, I click install and it tells me which CD to load to install the package. In Red Hat, it seems that if I want to install mod_php4, I have to find which CD has php on it manually, then install it from there. Using the above index technique, I would know which CD has my php package, but I would not know if it had other dependencies until I tried to install it or did an "rpm --requires" on it. I was hoping there was a slightly more automated way to get there. Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Will we all fight for the right to be free? Got spam?
