If memory serves me correctly I was told CentOS 4.x was based on Fedora Core 3. So when finding a rpm I always looked for one for Fedora Core 3 and then it seemed to install ok on CentOS 4. Is CentOS 5 the same way and if so what Core is it based on? Matt

While it might work without issues in some cases, such practice is inviting trouble. HTH, :-) Marko
