Can I install with no risk 8.1 rpm to 8.2? I'm looking for some screen savers I had installed in 8.1 which are not available in 8.2. Thx, Martin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo! Mail AddressGuard http://antispam.yahoo.com/whatsnewfree
I would use alien "alien -t xscreensaver-xxx.i586.rpm" to create a .tgz file then explode it and do a comparison between the files e.g "file /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/anemone" and "file ./usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/anemone" if they report the same, they should work. You can also just run "./usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/anemone" in the directory and if you get a window displaying the screensaver correctly, then it's compatible. Regards Sid. m wrote:
