I thought CentOS 4 was equal to Red Hat Enterprise 4, and freshrpms seems to have RPMS for Enterprise 4. Actually, this leads me to a question I wanted to ask anyway. I've been advised here before that I should always try to install things through Yum or RPMs. I've been told that installing from tar files and building from source is a bad idea. But what does one do when there is software that is readily available for other Linux distros, and is theoretically buildable for CentOS, but not available from the standard Yum repositories like Dag and CentOS's own? Is one supposed to contact the repository owner and request the software be included? Dave
