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.
Unfortunately, the documentation is a work in progress.
It seems to be in progress quite for a while now. I'm using smart for more almost two years now and I agree with Reek Moore, that I'm stuck with it only thanks to its comprehensive and user-friendly interface, otherwise I would give up pretty soon.
