So the segfaults most likely happened with FreshRPMS too (if you actually tried the same version, which you probably didn't because you were using an old FC1 repository that by mere luck worked for you). There have been problems with transcode/dvd:rip that were caused by NPTL and needed workarounds (environment variables) to make it work. You could have looked at the freshrpms mailinglist or at least reported the problems so we could look at it (see if we could reproduce it) or pointed to you at a solution. Instead you opted to be pretty useless to the community, even more ill-advising people. Know that for every working piece of Open Source software people dedicate time to get things right, that's not only true for my packages, but for every piece of OSS software. And if you don't even bother to provide valuable feedback, you don't have any reason to complain. If slackware works well for you, than that's despite of your input I bet. So if you wonder if you pissed me off, yes you did :) Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]
