Thanks, I succesfully got it via yum. If I were 20 and still in a learning mood I'd have compiled it all myself :). Thanks a miilion!

Take a look at http://centos.karan.org/ You need to setup both the FExtras and the Misc repo. ( .repo files for both are provided, just download and drop into /etc/yum.repos.d/ run "yum install gnucash", should all come rolling in. - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ GnuPG Public Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Is there a command in CentOS4 or some small program to display a short message everywhere possible on a box much like # shutdown -k now "Display me where I'll be seen", but without the added (normal) stuff? xmessage would probably be usable if it had an -onalldesktops option. BTW, the purpose is to add a visual to the scripts I have in place to remind me to connect my external USB drive late Tuesday, disconnect it early Wednesday (after backup) and keep it out of the reach of "Murphy" for the rest of the week.

Gnome CD/DVD Burner?
by Matt Bottrell 14 May '05

14 May '05

Hi all, Wondering if this might be a good item for either CentOSPlus or even Extras repository. I've been looking for a decent CD/DVD burner for Gnome.... at present I load up k3b (KDE app) and thus much of the KDE environment). Someone pointed me to GraveMan (http://www.nongnu.org/graveman/ ) which looks very good. All reports is that it's lean, mean and quite stable. Anyone else using it and is it worthy of placing in the repository? Cheers, Matt.

gnucash in a yum repo somewhere?
by Todd Blake 14 May '05

14 May '05

I'm attempting to install a gnucash rpm I've come across but the dependency list is long. I've searched high and low and can't find a nice yum repo with it and all of it's dependencies. Does anyone know if it lives in a yum repo anywhere? I'm getting lazy in my old age(just turned 30) and I just wanna "yum install" it rather than tracking it all down like I would've 10 years ago :)

I think merely documenting a way of how to add standard package lists would suffice. I remember there was a long, drawn-out set of threads on the Fedora-devel lists about such -- and it really came down to the simple matter that it's not too difficult to add new package lists. -- Bryan J.
