The problem is the test version (as I've said) can be unstable and as
you're new in, it is just as well to get used to the new system before
plunging yourself headfirst into the deep end.
You need updates->i386->rpms
Download the rpms you need to your home directory.
Start a terminal window (redhat->system tools->terminal)
Type in
su
(enter the root password)
rpm -Uhv *.rpm (assuming you've only downloaded the two rpms)
That should install the two rpms. It may fail, in which case, you need
to get hold of the RPMs to satisfy the dependancies
TTFN
Paul
