I'm subscribed to the Nahant list and noted someone complaining about the IBM version of Java. Whilst his problems would probably disappear by using the official Java from www.java.com, my question is what is the list of rpms in the extras ISO/channel? I know licencing and so on may mean they cannot be redistributed but i just wanted to know if I'm missing out on anything. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

You have a point, but needless hyperbole isn't required to make it.> Actually they are things like the Citrix ICA Client for Linux, IBM Java > SDK, Acrobat Reader, a flash plugin, a korn shell, a font, and IPW-2200 > and IPW-2100 firmware.Sounds like the Extras channel I get with my $180/year WS subscription (actually less because I upgraded from RHPW). -- William Hooper
