Once I download the xfstt rpm, what next? Can I just rpm -i *.rpm, or do I need to give it a little more of a nudge in terms of where is needs to be installed (i.e., /compat/linux/)? -- David Kanter djkanter@nwu.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
