Hi Ted, Often the Mandrake package will work, assuming you have an i586 class machine or better. I've used several recently, in generaly whenever the RHL7.0/Rawhide package requires glibc2.2 (I'm using RHL6.2). However I take a few precautions. I run 'rpm -qpl package' and then 'rpm -iv --test p

For a Linux only box it really doesn't matter. For a Linux/Windows dual boot, the safe answer is off. Even if your hardware doesn't change, Windows may occasionally change the PnP settings of your devices. This could cause problems during your next Linux load. John > -Original Message- >

No, the SRPMS are on a seperate disc. The question of which disc(s) were required came up a couple of times when RHL 7 first came out and it seems only disc 1 is needed to do any of the default installations. However, if you do a custom install you most likely will need the second disc. John >
