Excellent, thanks! I knew that someone more knowledgeable on this list 
would come to my rescue. I recall trying to read the man pages for rpm, 
and I recall being completely unable to determine how to install a 
package from those pages. "Wow," I thought, "look at all the things I 
could do with rpm. Now, I wonder which one I *should* do?"

As I have said before, trying to learn Linux from the man pages is like 
trying to learn a foreign language by reading a dictionary -- a 
dictionary consisting only of verb infinitives, at that.

Thanks!

Best wishes,
Clint
