What happened to uudecode? No it is not in shareutils
Hey All, I finally install 8.1 to be shock to find more than a few things missing. GCC is not in the default install and uudecode is missing from shareutils. I know there was a security issue with it, but wasn't that fixed already. Final blow, pysol is gone doesn't work with python 2.2? Chris, Jay and Lionel don't take this personally 8.1 is good in general, I just didn't think I'd have to compile uudecode. Stephen Ing -- "This Space for Rent!"

I don't know what you did wrong, but on my 8.1 system I see: 10:18 mmj@tiger:~/ > rpm -ql sharutils | grep uudecode /usr/bin/uudecode /usr/share/man/man1/uudecode.1.gz -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A.

Yes, but you can add the compilers (or was it languages?) section when doing your install (or afterwards). Basically, who compiles from source? I didn't until now in 8.1, though I got the compiler installed. The default install OTOH should not get too big, to make it useable for not-so-late machines with not-so-big HDs. If the default install got too fat, people might run Windoze XP just as well ;-). Cheers .... Wolfi ============================================= mailto:wolfi_z@gmx.net Linux ... the better OS!
