While I haven't used an rpm-based distro in a while, I think the command you 
are looking for is "rpm --force" or "rpm --nodeps" (can't remember which 
one).  Undoubtably, someone will followup this post with a "argh! That will 
destroy the inherited vectorness of the unique quantum flux database!" or 
somesuch.  Feel free to ignore them :-)  Or, if installing redhat 7.2 is an 
option, take the same time to learn how to install debian and enjoy the 
saneness of a real distro.




Hrrm.  The flames aren't rolling in fast enough.  I'll add more fuel to the 
fire.  Vi rules! Emacs sucks!

Ah, there we go.  Now where did my bag of marshmallows go.......

*grin*
