Thanks, I'll look into that.
Unfortunately, I do not know the old-fashioned way.
My only other experience with Linux is from using Mandrake, and they have
provided their own really nice GUI's for just about everything.

Please
respond to

When I added the Xautoconfig package as per Dan's recommendation, I did it
the old fashioned way.
mount /dev/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom
cd /YellowDog/ppc
rpm -Uvh Xautoconfig..blah...blah
cd /
umount /dev/cdrom
eject /dev/cdrom :)
(sans smiley, of course)
I like the new RPM managers though. Does yup have a GUI front end of any
sort?
