Now, how do I install the file? (easily) I tried the ftp installation, but it kept complaining about not being able to find indexes, etc. (I have the 2.1.5 cds). What is the easiest way for me to add this package? (xpm-3.4i.tgz) thanks! -- =---------=----------------------------------------=---------= | ((___)) | "You can tune a file system, but you | ((___)) | | [ x x ] | can't tune a fish." -tunefs man page | [ x x ] | | \ / =----------------------------------------= \ / | | (' ') | John Szumowski - harpo@javanet.com | (' ') | | (U) =----------------------------------------= (U) | =---------= =---------=
