By the way is yumex ever going to produce a help manual?
Bill, I highly recommend smart. You get a nice gui that shows every rpm out there with a nice search function. If you search for Xine, you'll see what is available and the ones you currently have installed. Really nice. IMHO it's beats the pants off of yumex. Give it a whirl! Ric
Thanks Ric. I had planned to give 'smart' a whirl when I install Fedora 7. Not that the version/core number matters; its just that I have so many small and large learning curves over the next 6 weeks that I have given myself to climb. A new install of fedora seemed like a good benchmark to add new applications to try out.
By the way, does 'smart' have a good manual. 'man' yum and yumex --no-help, are pretty rudimentary if you want to go deeper than just trial and error.
What I liked about smart is that if you prod it a little and dink around with it, it all comes perfectly clear how to use it! THAT is what I like in an app, that you can wave hands hovery hovery and it comes to life and does cool stuff. I had a couple of questions and got them resolved on the list, so I've never peeked at the docs... and I'm a complete idiot. :) Ric
