One possibility would be to grabb thr appropriate RPM from www.rpmfind.org (which *should* allow you to search for free and find which RPM it's in). If you know which linux_base you're using, you should be able to determine which RPM to use (I believe the stock linux_base is 7.1, while there is also linux_base_6, which is 6.2 and used to be the std). -- bryan k ogawa <bko@unobvious.com> http://www.unobvious.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
