They "rpm -e"ed tehm just fine, but that made no difference.

Humm, I seem to have apt-get, but not apt. Odd, but then everytime I 
let synaptic anywhere this system, it breaks things.

I have these two archives:

/usr/dlds/apt-0.5.5cnc5-fr0.rh73.2.i386.rpm
/usr/dlds/apt-devel-0.5.5cnc5-fr0.rh73.2.i386.rpm

are they recent enough?  Prolly not, looks like rh7.3 stuff from here.

I'll see if I can find a newer apt after some shuteye time.
