Just google. our friend google inundates me with so much information that it was difficult for me to weed out except the official site it pointed out to. My requirement is simple: I want to install few instances of mysql Workbench as successor to other GUI tools for developers whom shall we call hmmm... "PHD" (replacing the boss with developer in the PHB). and yum has spoiled me to the extent of, what can I say..., "yumaholic"?.. :) an so this burning desire to find _any_ repository which will help put out the fire of requirements :) Thanks again for all the replies Regards, Rajagopal
