" I was a little vague I guess. There is so much material wrt RPM and RPM is a new beast to me, with my previous Distro I used tarballs. I would like to read immediately relevant / useful docs and then ease myself into the rest of the stuff. A sort of jumpstart into some hands_on stuff and then working through all the technical stuff. Would this approach be possible / advisable? " > I want to learn how to do this and have the latest SRPM and tarball " of " > XFCE to play with.

I tried to install the SRPM with Package Manager and ended up with only XFCE being accessable. (This is my home machine that has a full install so that I can play around and experiment with apps). I managed to recover with no harm done. <grin>. BTW, I use XFCE for about 99% of my work so had I really duffed it it would not have been that bad. Any suggestions wrt the above would be welcome.
