If I do 'rpm -Uvih *rpm' with the beta, I guess I will lose the old version. Right?
No, use -ivh. The rpm will install into a fresh subdirectory. On my machine, it installs in /opt . And each installation forms its own subdir under /opt; thus a new install does not overwrite the old. Best, Pete -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peter N.
